This outpatient procedure is performed under topical anesthesia (in drops) and generates minimal discomfort for the patient
Laser photocoagulation.
Treatment by which small laser burns are produced in the ischemic retina (without sufficient blood supply) to reduce the release of substances that induce the disorganized growth of new blood vessels, thus preventing future retinal detachment or intraocular bleeding. This outpatient procedure is performed under topical anesthesia and is minimally painful for the patient.
Clinic of ophthalmological specialties
Retinal treatments:
Focal laser photocoagulation (for central serous chorioretinopathy).
A procedure in which, using an argon laser beam, small burns are produced in the area where fluid leaks into the retina, which restores the retina to its impermeability. This outpatient procedure is performed under topical anesthesia (in drops) and is not painful for the patient.

Laser Iridoplasty
A procedure in which small burns are made to the iris (muscle structure that gives color to the eye) using a laser in order to make it flatter and thus allow the angle (drainage site of the fluid that occurs inside the eye) to remain open. This surgery is especially useful in patients who have a shape of the iris known as a plateau.
Capsulotomy
Capsulotomy is a laser procedure that treats opacity of the posterior capsule, a common complication after cataract surgery. Performed by an expert ophthalmologist, this quick and safe surgery restores visual clarity by removing the dull membrane.
Corneal treatments
Ring Implantation

This procedure is safe, effective, and minimally invasive. What are you waiting for to transform your eye health today?
Crosslinking
Is an advanced treatment for keratoconus that strengthens the cornea and stops its progressive deformation. Performed by an ophthalmologist, this procedure uses ultraviolet light and riboflavin to increase corneal stiffness. This procedure may reduce the need for a transplant and prevent future complications. Safe and effective, crosslinking improves your eye health.
