Correction of myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia with the most advanced techniques: SMILE PRO, Femtolasik and PRK. Unique center in Colombia with VisuMax 800 ZEISS technology.
Refractive surgery is a set of laser procedures that correct visual defects such as myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia, allowing to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses or contact lenses.
At Instituto de Cornea we offer three main techniques: SMILE PRO (the most advanced and minimally invasive), Femtolasik (standard technique with corneal flap) and PRK (surface technique ideal for thin corneas).
Learn about the three main techniques we offer to correct your visual defects
SMILE PRO (Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) is the most advanced refractive surgery technique. It uses the VisuMax 800 laser from Carl Zeiss to create a lenticule inside the cornea that is extracted through a 2-4mm microincision, without the need to create a corneal flap.
Femtolasik is a refractive surgery technique that combines the femtosecond laser to create the corneal flap and the excimer laser to correct the refractive defect. It is an evolution of traditional LASIK, offering greater precision in flap creation.
PRK (Photorefractive Keratectomy) is a surface technique that does not require creating a corneal flap. The excimer laser is applied directly to the surface of the cornea after removing the corneal epithelium.
