We provide care in two cities: Bogotá and Cartagena. You can schedule your eye appointment or surgery in the city you prefer or feel most comfortable in.

• Significant improvement in vision and quality of life.
• Prevention of vision loss or blindness.
• Correction of refractive issues to reduce or eliminate dependence on lenses.
• Improvement in appearance and self-esteem in cases of aesthetic problems.
• Relief from bothersome symptoms such as pain, itching, or excessive tearing.

Before the surgery, the surgeon will conduct thorough examinations to assess your condition, and blood tests will be required to ensure the appropriate procedure is performed.

During the surgery, you will be given local anesthesia or sedation to keep you comfortable.

After the surgery, it is normal to experience mild discomfort such as irritation, redness, or sensitivity to light, but these symptoms usually disappear within a few days. Consequently, Dr. Alfredo Ramírez will provide you with detailed post-operative care instructions and necessary follow-up to ensure a successful recovery.

Refractive surgery is a set of surgical procedures that modify the structure of the eye to correct vision problems such as myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism.

On the other hand, not all patients are ideal candidates. Some requirements are:

Stable prescription. Healthy and sufficiently thick cornea.

Absence of ocular or systemic diseases that affect healing.

Cataract surgery involves replacing the cloudy lens with an artificial lens. This surgery helps restore clear vision, improve quality of life, and prevent blindness caused by cataracts.

Phaco-refractive surgery combines cataract extraction with the implantation of an intraocular lens to correct refractive errors. It is important to highlight that it allows treating the cataract and correcting the refractive defect in a single procedure, avoiding the need to use glasses or lenses after the surgery.

Normally, after 4 days you can start exercising. It is important to follow the ophthalmologist’s instructions and not rush the recovery to avoid possible complications. With adequate time, most patients can return to their usual sports activities without problems.

The likelihood depends on various factors, such as age and the stability of the prescription at the time of surgery. Normally, we operate when the refractive error is stable, ensuring that our patients do not need to use glasses or contact lenses again.
