Those who underwent an old type of surgery years ago and have a residual defect can now eliminate that too with the new techniques.

Refractive surgery is the surgical branch that deals with the elimination of refractive defects such as myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism. In most cases this is achieved with very sophisticated LASER, such as the EXCIMER LASER alone or in combination with the FEMTOLASER.

An appreciated surgery, practiced for many years, capable today, with updates and increasingly advanced techniques, of giving the patient the elimination of the defect stably and in very rapid times.

However, if we consider laser interventions dating back to fifteen or twenty years ago, we see that sometimes the techniques of that time may have left residual defects. Often they are not very significant, but they prevent being free from glasses or contact lenses.

Specifically, these are treatments performed with techniques that are very different from those used today. Above all, these are myopia and astigmatism that are not corrected in their entirety, with laser surgery interventions that twenty years ago were in their infancy and therefore less effective.

It is often thought that these defects, of various types, cannot be eliminated as well. And we resign ourselves to a truly annoying condition.

Instead, it must be said that today many of these residues can be eliminated effectively and safely. Lasers have evolved greatly and so have diagnostic equipment that allows for very thorough, safe and non-invasive preoperative evaluations.

Once the residual defect has been ascertained in terms of quantity and type, the intervention can be planned with various different and innovative techniques, as well as extremely effective, depending on the case.
For example, like the TRANS PRK technique, which represents the evolution of the old PRK and allows the EXCIMER LASER to perform the entire procedure without the surgeon ever touching the corneal surface. A NO TOUCH procedure that allows for a perfect surface, ready for rapid healing. In myopia, the central area will be flattened without manually removing the most superficial layer, the epithelium, the laser will do it. The side effects are modest and the results are excellent.

Another proposed technique is the LASIK retouching, ideal for a faster recovery if the thickness of the cornea allows it. It is the most used technique in the world.
This treatment creates a thin lamella of a few thousandths of a millimeter, which when lifted the laser performs the programmed treatment, which lasts a few seconds. Then the lamella is lowered again and visual recovery is immediate and painless. In a few days you are ready to resume normal life.

Let's not settle for a result that has become modest over time, after a careful evaluation we will see that it can most likely be eliminated too. You will be able to see clearly again in a few minutes of operation and without pain.
