LASIK technique has introduced a new generation of laser vision correction, based for the first time on ‘flap’ surgery. LASIK technique, or Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, is bringing brand new technology to operate inside the cornea, unlike PRK ‘surface’ technique of the previous generation.

SMILE Pro is the most modern treatment for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. This revolutionary procedure ensures smooth recovery and quick return to daily activities. SMILE Pro is performed thanks to the cutting-edge technology of Zeiss Visumax 800.The eye is exposed to the laser from 8 to 10 seconds for myopia correction and less than 13 seconds for hyperopia, enhancing patient comfort and surgical accuracy.

Monovision is a technique, requiring LASIK or PRK treatment proposed by Rutnin-Gimbel ophthalmologists to correct more specifically cases of Presbyopia. Conceptually, Monovision consists in correcting the vision of one or two eyes with laser treatment (or with contact lenses)

The Femto LASIK is a commonly performed procedure worldwide with excellent post-operative results. Femto LASIK is the most advanced flap surgery technique. Your Rutnin-Gimbel ophthalmologist opens and folds back a flap on the surface of the cornea with a Femtosecond laser. With an excimer laser, corneal tissue is then removed point by point in a few seconds to correct visual defect. Your ophthalmologist can then return the flap in the original position.

PRK, or Photorefractive Keratectomy, is a surface surgical technique widely used for the low correction of myopia and astigmatism.Considered the first generation of laser vision correction, PRK procedure is characterized by surface ablation surgery. Your Rutnin-Gimbel ophthalmologist first dissolves a thin layer of the cornea with an alcohol solution, and removes it with a manual instrument. The underneath surface of the cornea is then modified with an excimer laser to correct refractive powers. The whole procedure is performed under topical or local anesthesia and is relatively painless. The corneal first layer begins to regenerate in 5-7 days after surgery
