The eye must remains as stable as possible during surgery, therefore patients lie on a treatment table with their eyes fixed on a red light on the Excimer Laser machine.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\nA safety device called\u00a0eye tracker<\/strong>\u00a0compensates for involuntary eye movements following up the eye at milliseconds intervals and adjusting the direction of the laser pulses. In case of sudden movements the safety system fully stops the treatment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”How long does the laser surgery last?”][vc_column_text]\n\n

It is a quick procedure. Patients remain in the surgery room for\u00a0<\/span>15-20 minutes <\/strong>on average. Just a few seconds of that time are used for the application of the<\/span>\u00a0Excimer Laser<\/strong>. The remaining time is used to prepare the patient\u2019s eye for surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”Is laser surgery painful?”][vc_column_text]\n\n

Refractive surgery procedures are carried out using topical (local) anaesthetics (eye drops). Patients\u00a0do not experience any pain<\/strong> during the operation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”How will the post-operative\/recovery period be?”][vc_column_text]\n\n
LASIK<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>PRK<\/strong>\u00a0procedures\u00a0<\/span>have very simple\u00a0post-operative processes which require only\u00a0eye drops\u00a0and artificial tears.<\/span><\/p>\nAfter surgery it is recommended to rest at least for\u00a024 hours<\/strong>. Most work activities can be resumed after 48 hours<\/strong>. Patients must wait at least a week to resume any sport activity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Default” title=”I have a very high prescription. Can I undergo refractive surgery?”][vc_column_text]During the pre-op check up, our medical team will examine the condition of the cornea, namely corneal width and number of dioptres to be corrected. Laser treatment vaporises corneal tissue. The amount of extracted tissue is proportional to the number of dioptres to be treated.\u00a0Intraocular lens<\/strong>\u00a0implants may be considered if prescription is very high.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][\/toggles][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”full_width_background” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” top_padding=”8%” bottom_padding=”8%” id=”consulta” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” text_align=”left”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/4″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” centered_text=”true” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” width=”1\/2″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” overlay_strength=”0.3″ column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text]\nFirst visit<\/h2>\n
