refractive surgery

Refractive surgery is a broad term which encompasses patients of all age ranges and consists of a wide array of surgeries. In Clinica Guirao, our primary objective is patient safety approach with the essence of do no harm as the fundamentals of our decision-making.

Not everyone is suitable for refractive surgery and we believe that the most important step in pre-operative assessment is to identify those who are not and explaining the rationale behind this decision.

In order to reach a decision of suitability and the type of surgery one should undertake, a comprehensive examination is performed using amongst others corneal imaging, slit lamp examination and fundal OCT. In younger patients, who are pre-presbyopic, we tailor the decision-making based on personal factors such as occupation, ocular comorbidities, objectives and hobbies.

Keratorefractive or ICL treatment can be a life changing procedure for patients, with myopia and astigmatism being a thing of the past! In a region like Murcia, this has severe impact in the quality of life of patients who have active lives, allowing outdoor sports and swimming without the hassle of contact lenses or refractive goggles.

Patients undergoing cataract surgery, represent an excellent opportunity to choose a suitable lens to reduce the dependence of glasses and essentially be spectacle free. We think that this time of surgery represents the one chance to get it right and this is a critical junction for us combined to make the right decision for your needs.

Our surgeons, implant a range of lenses in Clinica Guirao from multifocal to toric in order to ensure patients achieve the best optimal results for their particular eyes. Refractive lenses and implants are indeed a particular passion for our surgeons, with our latest research project looking prospectively at various multifocal IOL´s in the market. This commitment to research enables Dr Gurjeet Jutley and Dr Maria Concepcion Guirao Navarro to stay abreast of the latest innovations and offer them to our patients.
