In Bilbao we have an effective technique applied by the ophthalmologist Dr. Grijalvo c/Manuel Allende 16. This is the correction of refractive errors, myopia, farsightedness and astigmatism, using Lasik technique. The patient is subjected to a simple, fast, safe, painless operation that lasts 7 minutes, after which he will be able to return to his home. This refractive surgery allows to obtain a correct vision, and that we never have to rely on glasses or contact lenses. A fully consolidated solution, with more than twenty years of clinical application, which today still supposes a real revolution in the field of ophthalmology.
Operation Features:
- By Microkeratome, the surgeon raises a thin layer of corneal tissue similar to a lens.
- The surgeon applies the laser to the middle layer of the cornea to mold it for a period of 5 to 15 seconds, as it is high-speed. The laser has a safety mechanism that controls eye movements, known as the Eye-tracker, which allows impacts to be directed to those parts of the cornea that need to be remodeled to correct the refractive defect. Before performing the intervention, the patient is given a thorough and rigorous study to know his graduation and from which data are extracted on the shape and function of the cornea. All this information is transmitted to the laser so the treatment is specially designed for each patient.
- Reposition the raised corneal tissue layer, which is re-adhered without the need for points. In this way we will achieve the correct focus of the image in the retina
The Lasik technique is not painful either during or after the intervention and the anesthesia used is topical, it is applied by a eye drops. Postoperative control is performed at 24 hrs in the clinic and does not require postoperative bandaging. Of course, it is advisable to be careful not to rub your eyes and wear protective eye patches the first night. During the first hours, you may feel slight annoyances such as stinging or tearing and, after a few hours, you will begin to notice the visual recovery without relying on glasses or contact lenses. Most patients can resume their work and activities at the 48h-72h of surgery.
