WHAT IS MYOPIA?
Among the most common visual defects is undoubtedly myopia – nearsightedness. This is a defect that causes poor vision at a distance. In contrast, a myopic person sees nearby objects very well and sharply up to a certain distance.
In the myopic person’s eye, the picture is formed in front of the retina, so objects further away are often just specks. The degree of myopia usually stabilises between the 20th and 25th year of life, which is the appropriate age for permanent removal of the defect by laser eye surgery.
HOW TO GET RID OF MYOPIA
Myopia is corrected with minus-powerful prescription glasses with dispersing lenses that allow rays to meet directly on the retina and form a sharp image. Although glasses or lenses can improve vision, in most cases they are a very restrictive aid.
It is clear that the most advantageous and permanent option for correcting myopia is laser eye surgery. We correct myopia using the laser method. This is the most advanced method of laser refractive surgery available today and has many advantages:
It is performed under local anaesthesia and takes about 20 minutes,
The operation is painless,
Hospitalisation is not required, you can leave after a certain period of time after the operation,
The fast recovery time allows a return to normal life on the second day,
The risk of postoperative complications is very low,
WHEN CAN YOU HAVE MYOPIA SURGERY?
Any candidate over 18 years of age with fixed refractive error can undergo laser eye surgery. The highest efficiency of treatment is between 18 and 35 years of age, but among our satisfied patients there are also many people older than 40 years.
The surgery is led by a team of top surgeons with years of experience. Thanks to the use of the latest equipment, myopia laser surgery is a simple solution for anyone who wants to say goodbye to glasses forever.
PRACTICAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE SURGERY
The procedure is preceded by a pre-operative examination lasting about one hour.
If you wear contact lenses, you must stop wearing them 14 days before the pre-operative examination.
The evaluation of the examination is followed by laser surgery for myopia.
This is a one-day operation, you can leave immediately after some time after the operation.
