1.  Refractive Surgery     (back to top)

Refractive surgery     Espanol 

Laser Vision (LV) is a comparatively safe, reliable and painless way to improve vision and reduce or eliminate the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. LV changes the way light is bent, or refracted, as it passes through the cornea so that it focuses properly on the retina and objects can be seen clearly.

Standard Lasik       Espanol  

LASIK is a treatment closer to the interior of the cornea and depends on the formation of a corneal deep tissue flap. LASIK has the advantage of faster healing and less discomfort.

PRK  is performed closer to the corneal surface giving greater correction options as the surgeon has more unaltered cornea to correct. The disadvantage is it is sometimes associated with more discomfort.

Intacs become useful in conditions where corneal irregularities or thinning prevents the use of glasses, contact lenses or LV correction. Such a corneal disease is keratoconus, a corneal abnormality that affects about 1 in 2000 patients.

7.  Pentacam Corneal Topography     (back to top)

A Pentacam is a state of the art ocular imaging system. It is designed to view the front and back shapes of the cornea, assists in optical power predictions and is an important tool for the diagnosis and treatment of many optical conditions.
