ENJOYING LIFE, LEISURE AND PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES WITHOUT THE CONSTRAINTS OF GLASSES OR CONTACT LENSES IS NOW A REALITY. YOUR REALITY.

A TRIED AND TESTED TECHNIQUE

Refractive surgery considers the cornea as a lens. By directly impacting the shape, i.e. the optical properties, of the cornea, refractive surgery modifies the path of the light rays, aiming them precisely at the retina, exactly as a contact lens would.
In the majority of cases, adapting the thickness of the cornea means that an individual with a sight disorder today no longer needs to wear glasses or contact lenses.

THE LASER REVOLUTION

First envisaged in the middle of the 19th century, incisional surgery on the cornea was not to prove successful until the end of the 1930s. Although even these results were still highly debatable, it seemed logical that future solutions for refractory disorders would involve surgery of the cornea. Research thus began all over the world. In 1983, an American researcher replaced the surgeon's blade with a laser beam - a far less traumatic solution for the patient. The Excimer Laser was adapted for ophthalmological use in 1986. The first eye operation took place one year later.

THE PERFECT TOOL

Designed and developed by the powerful IT industry to engrave computer microcircuits, the Excimer Laser directs its beam with outstanding precision. Unlike the old mechanical incision techniques, a laser operation does not weaken the eye. The beam is cold and therefore perfectly suitable for surgery: none of the surrounding tissue is burnt. The structure of the eye is protected. The amount of energy necessary for each operation is defined during pre-surgery examinations, and is calculated and executed by computer. The energy is fully absorbed by the surface of the eye.
The original condition of the eye therefore remains unchanged - apart from the shape of the cornea.
Surgery by Excimer Laser is unquestionably the most effective and the most precise way of correcting sight disorders.

100 % LASER

The key to the perfect outcome of LASIK surgery is the quality of the cut to create the corneal flap. Here again, abandoning the blade in favour of a laser beam considerably improved results, both in terms of sight correction and post-surgery recuperation. The Intralase™ Femtosecond Laser cuts a perfect flap and thus prepares the ground for the Excimer Laser; the latter benefits from optimal working conditions.
The failure risk linked to the microkeratom was extremely low. Studies point to 1% among practitioners who regularly use this method. Visionis statistics were substantially below this. Nevertheless, it is always possible to improve. And "100% laser" is our answer.
