Hypermetropia surgery in Lyon: laser correction for better vision
Are you looking for a long-lasting alternative to eye corrections (glasses and contact lenses)? After a preliminary examination, the Clinical Néovision offers you a hypermetropia surgery in Lyon. Skilled and qualified, our medical team applies all its experience to help you regain clear and comfortable vision.
What are the differences between a hypermetrope and a myope?
Hypermetropia causes blurred vision when the patient looks at close objects. As for myopia, it is responsible for blurred distance vision. In most cases, myopia is hereditary. Simply put, we can say that a myopic patient has an “eye that is too long.”
Regarding hypermetropia, it is often present from birth due to imperfect eye development. It develops and manifests at any age, but usually during adulthood. The hypermetropic eye is sometimes described as an “eye that is too short.”
Why consider hypermetropia surgery in Lyon?
Several reasons may justify undergoing a eye surgery in Lyon :
• getting rid of glasses or contact lenses;
• reducing eye strain;
• minimizing near vision discomfort.
What are the steps of your hypermetropia surgery in Lyon?
Before any operation eyes in Lyon, it is necessary to assess the severity of the condition to determine if the procedure is feasible. Depending on your age and level of visual correction, your ophthalmic surgeon performs a preliminary test. They then establish a personalized preoperative assessment. At the same time, they determine the technology to be used for your hypermetropia surgery in Lyon.
How does refractive eye surgery work?
For your hypermetropia surgery in Lyon, our medical team welcomes you for refractive surgery in the operating room under local anesthesia. Depending on the case, we can consider one of the following methods:
• Lasik: the operation is performed after laser cutting a superficial flap within the thickness of the cornea. This technique is advantageous, especially as it promotes quick recovery;
• PKR/TransPKR: the procedure is non-contact, done after removing the epithelium. The laser then reshapes the intra-corneal stroma based on the patient’s condition. PKR/TransPKR is recommended for treating the thinnest corneas. It also prevents the risk of flap displacement;
• Presbylasik: this method corrects hypermetropia, myopia, or astigmatism when associated with presbyopia. Depending on the need, we can consider a Monocular, Hybrid, or Monovision strategy.
What does surgery by implant placement involve?
If you are not eligible for refractive surgery, our medical team will suggest intraocular implant placement for your hypermetropia surgery in Lyon. This solution is recommended when the visual defect is too severe or when the patient's condition does not allow refractive surgery. Depending on the case, we can perform surgery fitted with phakic implants (ICL) or pseudo-phakic implants (PRELEX).
Eye surgery: what precautions should be taken before and after the operation?
Before any laser eye surgery in Lyon, it is advised to clean your eyes gently without rubbing. Also, make sure to remove your contact lenses at least 15 days before if they are rigid lenses, or 3 days before for soft lenses. Moreover, whether for hypermetropia surgery or a myopia surgery in Lyon, remember to come with a companion on the day of the procedure.
