Ophthalmology
Cutting-edge surgical procedures to treat ocular pathologies and improve your quality of life. Through technological innovation, we offer minimally invasive surgeries with rapid recovery times and high safety profiles.
Cataract Surgery
Cataracts involve the clouding of the eye's natural lens. The only effective solution is replacing it with an Intraocular Lens (IOL) via phacoemulsification (ultrasound).
Technology: Micro-incisions (under 1.5 mm) without the need for sutures.
Premium Lenses: Trifocal and Extended Depth of Focus (EDOF) lenses correct myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia simultaneously.
Key Benefit: A 20-minute outpatient procedure that significantly reduces the risk of accidents and falls.
Laser Refractive Surgery
These procedures aim to eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses by reshaping the cornea.
Techniques: LASIK, PRK, and the innovative Relex SMILE, which uses a tiny 2 mm micro-incision without creating a corneal flap.
Indications: Effectively treats myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism, and presbyopia (near vision loss).
Corneal Transplant (Keratoplasty)
This involves replacing damaged corneal tissue caused by conditions like keratoconus or trauma.
Selective Techniques: 70% of current transplants are lamellar (e.g., DMEK). By replacing only the affected layers, we minimize rejection risks and accelerate visual recovery compared to traditional penetrating transplants.
Retinal Detachment
A serious medical emergency requiring immediate diagnosis to prevent total vision loss.
Warning Signs: Sudden appearance of "floaters," light flashes, or a "dark curtain" over the field of vision.
Treatments: Laser photocoagulation, vitrectomy, or scleral buckling. Early intervention (within the first week) is critical for a successful outcome.
Glaucoma and Ocular Hypertension
Glaucoma is a "silent" disease that causes irreversible optic nerve damage, often linked to high intraocular pressure.
Prevention: Since symptoms rarely appear early on, eye exams are recommended every two years starting at age 40.
Types: Open-angle, angle-closure, and Congenital Glaucoma (affecting infants).
Management: Controlled via specialized eye drops, laser therapy, or surgery to preserve remaining vision.
Strabismus Surgery
A reconstructive procedure to correct eye misalignment in both children and adults.
Success Rate: Over 90% success in restoring eye parallelism and eliminating double vision (diplopia).
Procedure: Outpatient adjustment of the extraocular muscles to improve both visual function and aesthetic confidence.
Eyelid Surgery (Blepharoplasty)
Corrects excess skin and fatty bags in the upper and lower eyelids.
Functional & Cosmetic: It rejuvenates the gaze and can restore peripheral vision blocked by sagging skin.
Laser Advantage: Minimizes bruising and swelling. Using a transconjunctival approach for lower lids avoids external scars and reduces the risk of eyelid retraction.
Ptosis Surgery (Drooping Eyelids)
Ptosis is the drooping of the upper eyelid, which can be age-related (aponeurotic) or present from birth (congenital).
Pediatric Ptosis: Early surgery is vital to prevent Amblyopia (Lazy Eye) and bullying-related psychological distress.
Techniques: Depending on muscle strength, we perform muscle resection or frontalis suspension (using the forehead muscle) via hidden incisions to achieve a natural, symmetrical look.
