several times before the
surgery, which in her
case was resolved with
contact lenses.
However, Osnelis and
Yordan with myopia
exceeding five degrees,
began treatment in just
two weeks ago at Ernesto
Guevara Provincial
Hospital in this city
and were operated on,
thanks to a modern
ophthalmology center
inaugurated with some of
its nine specialties in
October 2008.
Both patients agree that
their glasses were
almost part of them, but
they had to take them
off and it is better to
see clear with their own
eyes.
Dr. Vivian Cespedes
Galiano and the nurse,
Maria Santiesteban Gomez
revealed that the
surgery is highly
selective, rapid and
effective.
Did I hear eximer laser?
Yes, it is a refractive
surgery that uses a type
of laser by means of a
combination of argon and
fluoride. We receive
training for this in
Havana and from November
2009 we are providing
services.
What characteristics
should the patients have
for this procedure?
They must be patients
with refractive
disorders with myopia up
to eighth degree, not
more, with a
long-sightedness up to
fourth degree and
astigmatism up to three,
that’s why patients who
come to the consultation
must be over 21 years,
should not be sick of
collagen and not take
steroids permanently. "
What is their vision
after they are operated
on?
In the first twenty-four
hours, the patient sees
a little blurry, but the
next day he is overjoyed
because he can see
things from a long
distance.
What is the nurse’s work
in this top technology
service?
This is a team work in
function of giving
everything for the
patient's success, which
means to achieve that he
doesn't need to wear his
glasses again.
Persuasion is also very
important for the
success, because after
the surgery the patient
should not touch his
eyes. He must not blink
strong, lower his head
immediately and make
physical effort.
