Currently, people with myopia can say goodbye to glasses or contact lenses due to surgery. Its outcome depends on several factors and is required to meet various requirements. Please note this.
1. What is refractive surgery?
The correction of myopia by laser is an alternative and applied worldwide. Today is the most used and has virtually replaced the earlier due to rapid postoperative recovery and a lot less annoying.
During surgery, a small cut, called “flap” that stood to directly apply the excimer laser beam, held a workshop which modifies the curvature of the cornea, thus correcting the refractive error.
Then we put the flap in its initial position, which attaches in minutes. The intervention is a painless lasik extraocular that was made using anesthetic drops. Advance preparation is required with eye drops during the three days prior to surgery.
The operation itself usually takes about ten minutes and during it the patient has to turn its gaze to a fixation. After you wait about twenty minutes to pass the first review and the patient leaves the eyes uncovered and with their own feet.
