<\/i><\/i><\/span>Refractive error causes<\/span><\/a><\/h3><\/div>
\n

Myopie<\/h4>\n

The myopic eye is an eye that is slightly too long, the image is formed in front of the retina. The nearsighted sees blurry from afar. The surgical technique allows treatment of myopia up to approximately 10 diopters.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Hyperopia<\/h4>\n

The hyperopic eye is an eye that is slightly too short, the image is formed behind the retina. Hyperopia sees blurred up close. The surgical technique allows treatment of hyperopia up to 5 diopters.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Astigmatism<\/h4>\n

Astigmatism is a particularity of myopia or hyperopia, the correction in the horizontal meridian is not the same as in the vertical meridian. This feature causes blur at all distances. The surgical technique allows treatment of astigmatism up to 5 diopters.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/div>\n

Presbyopia<\/h4>\n

For a presbyopic eye, the lens loses its accommodative power and flexibility depending on age. Near vision becomes uncomfortable and difficult around age 43. Presbyopia is independent of other optical defects. The SupraCor technique allows treatment of presbyopia mainly in hyperopia.<\/p>\n

\n

Op\u00e9ration myopie<\/h4>\n

Laser surgery for myopia consists of making the curvature of the cornea less rounded. The surgical technique for myopia is Femtosecond Lasik and in certain cases Transepithelial Photorefractive Keratectomy (TransPRK).<\/p>\n

Op\u00e9ration Hyperm\u00e9tropie<\/h4>\n

Laser surgery for hyperopia involves bending the curvature of the cornea. The surgical technique for hyperopia is Femtosecond LASIK and in certain cases Transepithelial Photo Refractive Keratectomy (TransPRK).<\/p>\n

Op\u00e9ration Astigmatisme<\/h4>\n

Laser surgery for astigmatism involves reshaping the curvature of the cornea. The surgical technique for astigmatism is Femtosecond LASIK and in certain cases Transepithelial Photo Refractive Keratectomy (TransPRK).<\/p>\n

Op\u00e9ration Presbytie<\/h4>\n

Laser surgery for presbyopia involves slightly changing the curvature of the cornea to make it multifocal. The surgical technique for presbyopia is Femtosecond LASIK and in certain cases Transepithelial Photo Refractive Keratectomy (TransPRK).<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
