What is refractive surgery?
The refractive surgery includes techniques used to correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, astigmatism, the’hyperopia and, in some cases, the presbyopia. The goal is to break free from the dependence on wearing glasses and contact lenses.
There are two main techniques in this field: Treatment by laser and treatment with intraocular implants.
Appropriate and specialized techniques

Essential Information
Refractive Surgery: Which Vision Problems Does It Treat?
The refractive surgery involves correcting refractive errors that correspond to visual impairments resulting from improper refraction of light rays in the eye; there are three types:
- the myopia (farsightedness); ;
- the’astigmatism (blurred vision at both near and far distances); ;
- the’hyperopia (various conditions that can affect both near and distance vision).
A fourth flaw, the presbyopia, occurs as a result of the natural aging of the lens over time. This condition manifests as a increasingly blurry near vision ages 40 and up.
Refractive surgery is an effective solution for avoiding the need to wear glasses or contact lenses. Depending on your specific condition and its severity, your doctor will recommend the best technique for refractive surgery.
Keep in mind, however, that this is not a miracle solution; you may be offered a spare pair of glasses depending on your daily activities and expectations, and in some cases, your vision may deteriorate again over the years.
What is the best refractive surgery?
Each technique has its advantages and disadvantages: only a qualified ophthalmologist specializing in refractive surgery can determine which one is best suited to your needs. However, the characteristics of the various methods used by the professionals at Ophta Santé can be summarized as follows:
- LASIK: Highly reliable, fast, and precise, this technique helps correct vision problems related to nearsightedness, astigmatism, and farsightedness.
- Smile: This approach offers unmatched precision, minimal postoperative complications, and long-term stability; it is suitable for cases of myopia and astigmatism but can only be performed once (no touch-ups are possible).
- PKR and TransPKR: Recommended for mild myopia, astigmatism, or hyperopia, they are often painful after surgery.
- Presbylasik: Designed to correct presbyopia, this technology aims to achieve a satisfactory balance between near and distance vision.
- Eye Implants : This alternative is recommended for patients who are not suitable candidates for the previous techniques (severe ametropia and/or corneas that are too thin).
