Lasik Laser Refractive Surgery
Lasik Laser Refractive Surgery is a surgical technique in which a laser is used to correct vision disorders such as myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. With this technique, the shape of the cornea is modified so that light rays are focused normally on the retina and, as a result, images can be seen clearly.
Lasik Laser Refractive Surgery in Spain
The Lasik technique is a laser surgery procedure used to eliminate or minimise dependence on glasses or contact lenses in the case of myopia, hyperopia and/or astigmatism.
It is performed in just three steps: First, a thin layer of corneal tissue similar to a contact lens is lifted, then the laser is applied and finally the layer of tissue is repositioned without the need for stitches.
In Spain, the correction of refractive problems using the Lasik technique is a simple, fast, safe, painless and personalised procedure.
The surgical procedure takes only 10-15 minutes and is performed under local anaesthesia of the surface of the eye. It can be performed on both eyes in a single session.
