Services
Refractive Surgery
Implantable lens procedures correct astigmatism and high refractive errors unsuitable for laser treatment. Our techniques allow lens replacement if vision changes occur, providing long-term solutions for patients seeking independence from glasses. This service caters to both younger patients with thick glasses and older individuals requiring presbyopic correction.
Cataract Surgery
Minimally invasive cataract removal with foldable lens implants restores clear vision using sutureless, small-incision techniques. We employ dual corneal measurements and advanced implants to reduce aberrations, achieving visual quality comparable to young adults. Each procedure includes personalized lens selection based on lifestyle needs like reading or sports.
PRELEX
Lens replacement for age-related vision decline prevents future cataract development while correcting presbyopia. This procedure utilizes established cataract surgery techniques to provide long-term visual stability, particularly beneficial for patients over 40 experiencing reduced near vision and depth perception.
Corneal Topography
Digital corneal imaging creates detailed surface maps to diagnose irregularities and plan precise surgical outcomes. This technology enables customized astigmatism correction and implant lens selection, minimizing post-operative vision distortions through data-driven surgical planning.
Astigmatism Correction
Specialized lens implants and topography-guided procedures address corneal irregularities causing distorted vision. We combine advanced diagnostics with tailored implant selection to reduce dependence on corrective eyewear, achieving balanced binocular vision through meticulous pre-operative analysis.
