ASA LUX ™, THE ABLATIVE ANSWER TO EYESIGHT DISORDERS<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified” global_colors_info=”{}”]

ASA Lux ™ is a procedure that uses the excimer laser for the correction of myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (far-sightedness), astigmatism, and in selected cases presbyopia, by modifying the corneal curvature.<\/p>\n

This technique is used in cases where the corneal thickness is too thin and does not allow the use of a Femtolasik Lux\u00ae procedure. ASA stands for Advanced Surface Ablation. The ASA Lux ™ is always performed under topical anesthesia, instilling drops of anesthetic eye drops before the procedure. The operation is bilateral (i.e. performed on both eyes in a single session) and lasts a few minutes.<\/p>\n

INTERVENTION PHASES<\/h2>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.18.0″ _module_preset=”default” text_orientation=”justified” global_colors_info=”{}”]

\u201cTo ablate\u201d means \u201cto remove\u201d: the first step consists, in fact, in removing the most superficial and external layer of the cornea (the epithelium). To do this, Dr. Roberto Pinelli uses a hydroalcohol based solution that \u201csoftens\u201d the cells of the corneal surface and facilitates their removal. This is why ASA Lux ™ clearly differs from the PRK technique, a technique involving postoperative pain. In fact, most patients after ASA Lux ™ report only some discomfort and sometimes photophobia, effects that in any case disappear within a few hours. After manually freeing the cornea from its external epithelium, the excimer laser can be used: the surgeon vaporizes the corneal tissue for a few seconds to correct the curvature of the cornea enough to eliminate the vision disorder.<\/p>\n

The special feature of ASA Lux ™ resides in the third phase of the procedure. In fact, an accelerated osmotic transepithelial corneal cross-linking is performed, lasting a few seconds during which the synergistic action of riboflavin (vitamin B2) instilled through the ParaCel\u00ae eye drops, and UV-A rays, strengthens the bonds between the collagen fibers present in the corneal tissue. At the end of the procedure, sealed with this extra portion of photons, a soft contact lens is applied to allow the reconstitution of the removed epithelium. The epithelial reconstitution phase requires a few days, after which Dr. Pinelli removes the contact lens.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” locked=”off” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_contact_form use_spam_service=”on” recaptcha_list=”Default|Default-0″ recaptcha_min_score=”0.6″ title=”Contact us if you’re interested in our treatments.” success_message=”Thanks for filling out the contact form!

LA SOLUZIONE ABLATIVA
AI DIFETTI VISIVI<\/h1>\n

La tecnica ASA Lux™<\/strong><\/h3>\n

La ASA Lux™ <\/b>\u00e8 un intervento che utilizza il laser ad eccimeri per la correzione miopia, ipermetropia, astigmatismo, e in casi selezionati anche la presbiopia, modificando la curvatura corneale.<\/p>\n

Questa tecnica viene utilizzata nei casi in cui lo spessore corneale \u00e8 troppo sottile e non consente di intervenire con Femtolasik Lux\u00ae<\/b>. ASA \u00e8 acronimo di Advanced Surface Ablation, ossia \u201cAblazione Avanzata di Superficie\u201d. La ASA Lux™<\/b> \u00e8 sempre eseguita in anestesia topica<\/b>, instillando gocce di collirio anestetico prima dell\u2019intervento. L\u2019intervento \u00e8 bilaterale (effettuato cio\u00e8 su entrambi gli occhi in un\u2019unica seduta operatoria) e dura pochi minuti.<\/p>\n

Le fasi dell\u2019intervento<\/strong>
\u201cAblare\u201d significa \u201crimuovere\u201d: il primo passo consiste, infatti, nel rimuovere lo strato pi\u00f9 superficiale ed esterno della cornea <\/b>(l\u2019epitelio). Per fare questo il Dr. Roberto Pinelli utilizza una soluzione a base idroalcolica <\/b>che \u201cammorbidisce\u201d le cellule della superficie corneale e ne facilita la rimozione. Per questo ASA Lux™ si differenzia nettamente dalla <\/b>tecnica PRK, <\/b>che comporta dolore postoperatorio. La maggior parte dei pazienti, infatti, dopo ASA Lux™ <\/b>riporta solo fastidio e a volte fotofobia, effetti che comunque svaniscono nell\u2019arco di qualche ora. Dopo aver liberato manualmente la cornea dal suo epitelio esterno, si pu\u00f2 intervenire con il laser ad eccimeri: il chirurgo vaporizza il tessuto corneale per qualche secondo, per correggere la curvatura della cornea quanto basta per eliminare il difetto visivo.<\/p>\n

La particolarit\u00e0 della ASA Lux™ <\/b>risiede nella terza fase dell'intervento. Viene infatti eseguito un cross-linking corneale osmotico transepiteliale accelerato <\/b>della durata di qualche secondo durante i quali l\u2019azione sinergica della riboflavina (vitamina B2) <\/b>instillata attraverso il collirio ParaCel\u00ae <\/b>e dei raggi UV-A <\/b>fortifica i legami tra le fibre di collagene presenti nel tessuto corneale. Al termine dell\u2019intervento, suggellato da questa quota extra di fotoni<\/b>, viene applicata una lente a contatto morbida, per permettere la ricostituzione dell\u2019epitelio rimosso. La fase di ricostituzione dell\u2019epitelio richiede qualche giorno, dopo il quale la lente a contatto viene rimossa dal Dr. Pinelli.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][mk_button size=\"medium\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/contatti\/\"]Richiedi + Info[\/mk_button][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=\"1\/2\"][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]Soluzioni SERI Lugano<\/span><\/strong><\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=\"7\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n
