Laser vision correction
Laser vision correction
Laser eye surgery is a type of refractive surgery which corrects the refractive power of the lens (nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism). Eye correction is based on remodeling the cornea (transparent front part of the eye) with the use of an excimer laser.

Am I an eligible candidate for refractive laser surgery?
Every patient who has a prescription within the specified parameters, is 18 or older and has a stable refractive index is likely to be a suitable candidate for laser surgery; but a detailed ophthalmic preoperative examination is required.
Patients who are not eligible for laser eye correction are: patients with corneal diseases, dry eyes, glaucoma, pregnant women, patients with acute immunological sicknesses, and patients whose immune system is compromised.
Patients who wear soft contact lenses must stop using them three days prior to examination, while patients who wear RGP lenses must stop using them 8 days earlier so that the examination and assessment of refraction are accurate.
It is important to mention that individuals over 40 years of age who undergo laser surgery will no longer need glasses to see at a distance but will still require reading glasses. For more information about presbyopia treatment, click here.
