Avant-garde Techniques
 
  • LASIK, in which a thin flap is cut using a mechanical blade at the surface of the cornea. The flap is then lifted to allow for sculpting of the internal layers of the cornea using the Excimer laser. The corneal flap is then placed back to its original position. This operation can correct most cases of myopia, astigmatism, and hyperopia.

    More recently, in September 2006, the clinic introduced in Montreal, the IntraLase Method™, a procedure using Femtosecond laser technology. During the first step of LASIK vision correction, microscopic laser pulses are aimed under the surface of the cornea to generate a layer of tiny bubbles, creating the corneal flap. This advanced technique eliminates the use of a blade to create the corneal flap as with the conventional technique.

  • Implantation of an intra-ocular contact lens (ICL): Inside the eye to treat advanced and moderate hyperopia and myopia patients, who are not good candidates for LASIK surgery.

  • Modern cataract surgery: (phacoemulsification), Consists of fragmenting the hardened lens using a small ultrasound probe, followed by aspirating the fragments through a small incision, and replacing the aging natural lens with an artificial lens.

  • Prelex (Presbyopic Lens Exchange): Correction of presbyopia by replacing the aging natural lens of the eye by a multifocal lens which allows for vision at all distances.

  • Modern glaucoma surgery: Either Trabeculectomy or deep sclerotomy using Excimer laser to reduce excessive pressure in the eye in cases with advanced glaucoma. The Selective laser trabeculoplasty using YAG laser surgery in early glaucoma stage.

  • Oculoplastics: Esthetic surgery of the eyelids including blepharoplasty, Botox injections and filler treatments.

  • Evaluation and follow up of patients suffering from retinal diseases like macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.

  • Treatment of retinal diseases: Using either laser or intra-ocular injections
