Refractive surgery

What are refractive errors (myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism)?

In order to see images clearly, they must be focused exactly on the retina. An eye is said to have a refractive error when the power the lenses (crystalline lens and cornea) focuses the images either in front (myopia) or behind (hyperopia) of the retina.

Myopia

A person with myopia has difficulty (blurred vision) focusing on distant objects, while seeing nearby objects correctly. Myopia can cause headaches or eye fatigue.

Farsightedness

Farsighted people have a blurred perception of nearby objects , unlike nearsighted people. Farsightedness can cause headaches, tearing, or frequent blinking.

Astigmatism

A person with astigmatism perceives things as distorted , both near and far, due to a problem with the curvature of the cornea. Astigmatism is often associated with myopia or hyperopia.

All these refractive defects can be corrected with glasses, contact lenses or permanently through refractive surgery.

What is laser refractive surgery?

It is an effective and safe technique for correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism.

By applying the laser, the curvature of the cornea is modified, which allows the refractive defect to be corrected precisely, with minimal discomfort for the patient and with a rapid recovery of their visual function.

What techniques exist?

Among the different existing techniques, it is worth highlighting the Lasik, PRK and, in cases of high myopia, phakic lenses (ICL).

After a personal visit and a thorough examination, the doctor decides the most appropriate technique for each patient.
