The great advantage of using lasers to correct visual defects is their maximum precision. Excimer laser surgery can be of two types: LASIK: The most widely used technique on the market and with the fastest recovery time, with complete, painless vision recovery within 24 hours. T-PRK: A more complex technique used for differential cases and requiring more recovery time than LASIK. However, both techniques offer a higher success rate than 97%.

In the hands of an excellent surgeon, with the most advanced technology, adequate experience, and compliance with all requirements, it is highly safe. However, like any other surgery, it carries slight risks, and we are backed by over 45 years of ophthalmological medical experience.

Local anesthesia (drops) is used for the procedure, so the patient remains awake during the treatment, but since their eyes are anesthetized, there is no pain and, in general, only minimal discomfort.

It lasts between 5 and 10 minutes per eye. It is an outpatient procedure that does not result in disability. Once the procedure is completed, the patient returns home.

Laser correction of distance vision is long-term. Some patients who have undergone their procedure for more than 25 years still maintain their visual quality. However, other optical conditions associated with age can appear over time, such as presbyopia, which in some cases appears after age 40.
