REFRACTIVE SURGERY

THE VALUE OF GÕOD EYESIGHT

REFRACTIVE SURGERY

Refractive surgery is the set of surgical techniques that aim to eliminate or minimise ocular refractive defects. These refractive defects are myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia. Refractive surgery procedures are: laser surgery (LASIK or PRK) or intraocular lenses (pseudophakic and phakic).

WHY CHOOSE VISIÕNCLÍNIC+ FOR YOUR EYE OPERATION

DISTINGUISHED EXPERIENCE

Our surgeons are experts and specialists in the use of all refractive surgery techniques. Dr. Jorge Peraza-Nieves and Dr. Josep Torras deal with refractive surgery for the treatment of myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism through laser surgery or the implantation of intraocular lenses.

LEADING-EDGE TECHNOLOGY

The new visiõnclínic+ surgical area is equipped with the latest advances in refractive surgery: Zeiss® Artevo® microscopes with integrated tomography and 3D visualisation, Victus B&L® femtolaser and Excímer® TENEU™ 2 Laser. With the latter we can correct myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism and presbyopia (sight strain). In addition, it allows us to correct one dioptre in just 1.6 seconds and with high levels of precision, and includes SUPRACOR™, which allows us to correct presbyopia in the cornea. The implanted intraocular lenses are from the most recognised commercial brands: Bausch & Lomb®, Johnson&Johnson®, Alcon®, Zeiss®, PhysIOL®, STAAR®, among others.

WHAT IS REFRACTIVE SURGERY?

Refractive surgery is a type of ophthalmological surgical intervention to correct those refractive defects due to an alteration in the focus of images on the retina by intervening in the cornea or lens.

 

These refractive defects are mainly myopia, hypermetropia and astigmatism. To a lesser extent, presbyopia should also be added. Its magnitude is expressed in diopters and, in the case of astigmatism, through an axis expressed in degrees, which indicates its orientation. All refractive defects can be corrected by resorting to different types of intervention: laser surgery or intraocular or incisional refractive surgery.

WHAT IS REFRACTIVE SURGERY USED FOR?

MYOPIA

Group 81

Myopia appears when the eyeball is slightly longer than normal or when the cornea is very curved. The light rays then focus on the front of the retina, causing blurred vision.

HYPERMETROPIA

Group 81 (1)

Hypermetropia occurs when the eyeball is too short or the cornea too flattened, causing light to focus behind the retina. This makes near vision, and sometimes far vision, blurry.

ASTIGMATISM

Group 81 (2)

Astigmatism occurs when the cornea curves or flattens unevenly in the meridians, altering the focus of near and far vision.

PRESBYOPIA

Group 81 (3)

Presbyopia is a natural process in which, over the years, the exhaustion of an internal muscle of the eye causes the lens to be unable to change its curvature and the ability to focus is lost.

FIRST VISIT AND CASE STUDY

Request an appointment without obligation. You will be attended by one of our professional experts who will follow your case from your first visit until after the surgery.

TYPES OF REFRACTIVE SURGERY

REFRACTIVE SURGERY WITH LASER

Laser refractive surgery consists in changing the shape of the cornea with a laser (LASIK, FEMTO-LASIK, PRK, etc.) with the aim of correcting refractive defects: myopia, hypermetropia, astigmatism or even presbyopia.

REFRACTIVE SURGERY WITH INTRAOCULAR LENSES

In some patients, the risk/benefit of correcting a refractive defect with laser refractive surgery is too high, either because of the size of the defect, or because of the presence of a thin corneal irregularity or thickness. In these cases, it is preferable to implant intraocular lenses.

Uveitis

Pars planitis, a common eye inflammation in childhood

Pars planitis is an inflammation of a specific part of the eye called the pars plana, located in the most peripheral part of the retina. With very typical clinical signs, it is common to suffer from it in childhood. About prognosis and treatment options we spoke with Dr. Alfredo Adan, specialist in uveitis at visiõnclinic+.
