Consultation and responsible surgical planningCataract, refractive surgery and intraocular lenses explained in clear language, with realistic expectations.
Main areas
Surgical eye care guided by individual assessment.
The goal is not to recommend a procedure to everyone. It is to understand the eye, daily life, expectations and when it is reasonable to seek greater glasses independence.
Cataract lenses
Monofocal, toric, EDOF and multifocal lenses explained in the context of cataract surgery.
Compare lens typesRefractive surgery
Assessment for PRK, LASIK, Presbyond® and alternatives for vision correction, with attention to corneal topography, tomography and thickness.
See refractive surgeryPhakic lenses
A refractive option for selected cases, including patients who prefer correction without reshaping the cornea.

Understanding symptoms, daily routine, glasses or contact lens use and expectations.

Assessment of cornea, crystalline lens, retina, ocular surface and specific measurements when needed.

Individualized plan
Shared decision-making with benefits, limits, risks and realistic expectations.
Educational content
Clear information before your appointment.

Tests matter

Shared decision
The plan should consider anatomy, lifestyle, expectations and tolerance for tradeoffs.

FAQ
Honest answers, without promises medicine should not make.
Common questions about recovery, lens choice, refractive surgery and costs.
Does cataract surgery hurt?
Most patients report little or no pain. Surgery is usually performed with local anesthesia and sedation when appropriate, but every case must be assessed individually.
Can I get rid of glasses?
In some cases, glasses dependence can be reduced. This depends on eye anatomy, lens choice, visual needs and realistic expectations.
LASIK or PRK: which is better?
There is no universal answer. The best technique depends on corneal shape, thickness, degree, tear film and safety criteria.
