Refractive surgery for myopia is a safe and effective procedure that improves vision by reducing or eliminating dependence on glasses or contact lenses.

More than 95% of patients achieve complete independence from glasses and contact lenses.

Excimer laser surgery has been performed successfully for more than 30 years.

Full visual recovery is usually achieved within 48–72 hours.

What is Myopia and how is it corrected?

Myopia is a refractive error that makes it difficult to see distant objects, causing blurred vision. It is due to an elongated shape of the eye or an excessive curvature of the cornea, which causes light to focus before it reaches the retina.

🔹 Main symptoms:
✅ Blurred distance vision
✅ Needing to squint to focus
✅ Eye strain and headaches
✅ Difficulty driving or reading signs at a distance

Refractive surgery is the definitive solution for correcting myopia and improving vision without relying on glasses or contact lenses.

Safe options tailored to each patient

At Clínica Ramírez & Gálvez we offer different techniques for correcting myopia depending on its severity and the patient's eye structure:

🔹 LASIK
One of the most widely used techniques. The cornea is reshaped with an excimer laser, allowing a fast recovery.

🔹 Femto-LASIK
An advanced version of LASIK that uses a femtosecond laser for greater precision and less impact on the cornea.

🔹 PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy)
An alternative for thin corneas. It does not require creating a corneal flap, but recovery is slower.

🔹 Phakic Intraocular Lenses (ICL)
An option for patients with high myopia or corneas unsuitable for laser treatment. Lenses are implanted inside the eye without altering the cornea.

Femtosecond Laser:
Advanced Precision and Safety

💎 The most advanced technology to correct your vision

At Clínica Ramírez & Gálvez we rely on Refractive Surgery with Femtosecond Laser, the most advanced and safest technique for correcting myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. Compared with traditional LASIK surgery, Femto-LASIK offers greater precision, safety and faster recovery thanks to its femtosecond laser technology, which makes an extremely precise cut in the cornea without the need for blades.

This procedure minimises risks, shortens recovery time and improves visual outcomes, offering surgery tailored to each patient. If you are looking for the best option to correct your vision with maximum safety, femtosecond laser surgery is the most advanced solution available.
