Freedom from Glasses and Contact Lenses
Laser treatment offers an excellent solution for correcting refractive errors such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. Through this procedure, patients can achieve permanent freedom from the need for glasses or contact lenses, enjoying improved vision and enhanced quality of life.
Procedure and Preparation
Before the surgery, a preoperative examination is required. This includes corneal tomography to accurately measure the refractive error and assess the patient’s suitability for the procedure. This step is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and for choosing the most appropriate treatment approach.
Following the evaluation, a personalized laser method is selected based on the patient’s specific needs. The two most common techniques are:
- Femto-LASIK: A procedure using advanced femtosecond laser technology to create a thin flap on the cornea, allowing for precise reshaping to correct the refractive error.
- Trans-PRK: A flapless technique where the laser directly reshapes the epithelial surface of the cornea, delivering excellent results without the need for an incision.
Benefits of Refractive Laser Surgery
Refractive laser surgery offers multiple advantages, including:
- Freedom from glasses or contact lenses: Correction of myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism allows patients to live without relying on visual aids.
- Fast recovery: The procedure is minimally invasive, and most patients return to their daily routines quickly.
- Safety and precision: Modern laser technologies enable high precision, reducing the risk of complications and ensuring long-lasting results.
Overall, refractive laser surgery is a safe and effective solution for restoring vision. It provides patients with a permanent correction of refractive errors, significantly improving their quality of life without the need for glasses or contact lenses.
