Myopia, hipermetrophy and astigmatism they are ocular faults or also called mistakes refractive due to an alteration in the projection of the images on the plane of the retina. These images will have to be focused in the retina, and nevertheless they are not it, nice for increase or decrease of the size of the eye or for an excess or fault of the curvature of the cornea. The persons with these faults generally have the healthy eyes, but a problem exists: the vision is blurry and distorted, needing alteration by means of glasses or contact lenses.

Nowadays and for some time an alternative exists to the glasses and to contact lenses that it is of type surgical (radial(road) Queratotomia, extraction of crystalline transparent with implant intraocular, queratectomia photo refractive, implantation of lenses intraocular of previous chamber or posterior chamber PRL or ICL, etc.), but in our opinion and experience, the surgical option more indicated at present for its case is " Queratomia in situ attended by laser Excimer " or also named "Lasik", and this prestificada for different (labour) aesthetic motives, intolerance to contact lenses, bad vision with glasses, sport, bad quality of life when glasses or contact lens depends in everything of, etc.

It is important to emphasize that with this treatment there are not modified the previous conditions of the myopic eye or astigmate (possible degeneracy of the retina and risk of own alone detaching of the very high near-sighted persons, increases of the myopia for development, pregnancy, etc.) there are not even modified the previous conditions of the eye hipermetrope-astigmate (since predisposition though exceptionally not frequently, to the Glaucoma), that can follow its natural course in spite of the intervention

How it occurs with Lasik/Lasek?

To correct the myopia, the hipermetrophy and the astigmatism with this technology(skill), it is necessary to modify the corneous curvature of the previous face. This is obtained carving by means of the laser Excimer a minimal quantity of fabric in the central part of the cornea. Our medical equipment(team) fulfils this remodelled one of the cornea by means of the laser Excimer MED-70. This photocoagulation of the fabric, it is not realized on the surface of the cornea, but to more of 150 microns of depth, for which is necessary to prepare a thin corneous sheet that will cover in the postoperatory one the zone treated by the laser.

This procedure - system LASIK - has three advantages:

1. Absence of pain in the postoperatory one.
2. Visual rapid recovery.
3. Need of retreatment stops to fit very low. The final lens is to reach, its optical alteration, a visual useful keenness of 90-95 % reducing y/o eliminating the dependence of glasses or contact lenses for the immense majority of daily and like that activities to improve the quality of life.

Which are the results that will be obtained?

In our experience the wished result (neither useful vision nor optical some alteration) is obtained in almost all the cases (> 90 %), nevertheless in 5 % a weeks they must be portrayed. The visual recovery is rapid with a stable vision in the time in the majority of the cases. Every day thousands of interventions are realized, if You. It chooses to produce(operate on), his(its) decision must be based well. The patient more satisfied is that one that has a suitable information.
