Eye surgeries and procedures in Cali Colombia. Refractive surgery is a surgical procedure performed to correct the refractive error (spectacle power) of the eye. Doctors usually do this procedure to get rid of or reduce dependence on glasses and contact lenses. Usually this procedure can be performed in a patient with stable refraction (glass power) after the age of 18 – 21 years of age.

Types of refractive errors include:
• Nearsightedness
• Hyperopia (farsightedness)
• Astigmatism
• Presbytery (age-related farsightedness) and
• Myopia

For our doctors, It is important to gain the complete medical history from the patient along with detailed eye examination in all candidates. Exams such as corneal topography (Pentacam,), Anterior segment Optical Coherence Tomography (ASOCT) among other treatments are performed to evaluate the shape, thickness and curvature of the cornea and other dimensions of the eye.

After getting all the details from the patients exam, our team of ophthalmologists makes a decision regarding the available options of refractive surgery for the patient.
