A sight defect caused by the irregular curvature of the cornea, astigmatism results in light rays from an object not being refracted evenly on the cornea, and therefore producing different degrees of focus at different points. People suffering from astigmatism have difficulty focusing both at a distance and close up.<\/p>\n

Not all corneas are the same. An in-depth pre-operative evaluation will be performed by our specialists to identify the best corrective technique for each patient. Under the scientific direction of\u00a0Dr Roberto Pinelli, SERI has developed several innovative techniques to correct refractive errors and solve the problems caused by astigmatism. In most cases the solutions offered by the Switzerland Eye Research Institute use excimer laser for the\u00a0correction of astigmatism.<\/p>\n

One of the most popular laser treatment is the\u00a0Lasik Lux\u00ae. In addition to reshaping the corneal surface with\u00a0excimer laser\u00a0it also strengthens the cornea thanks to the synergistic action of\u00a0riboflavin\u00a0and exposure to\u00a0UV-A rays.<\/p>\n

Patients suffering from only a mild form of astigmatism can benefit from one of the most advanced and innovative solutions available today, which SERI can offer on an exclusive basis: Avedro\u2019s PiXL.<\/p>\n

For patients with a very thin corneal surface the ideal solution is the\u00a0ASA X-tra (Advanced Surface Ablation), which also offers the additional advantage of the riboflavin and UV-A rays reinforcing effect.<\/p>\n

Astigmatism surgery at SERI is usually a bilateral procedure, performed on both eyes during a single operation.<\/p>\n

\u00c8 un difetto visivo dovuto alla curvatura asimmetrica\u00a0<\/b>della cornea. I raggi luminosi provenienti da un oggetto non sono rifratti sulla cornea allo stesso modo, ma la capacit\u00e0 di messa a fuoco varia nei diversi punti. Gli astigmatici hanno difficolt\u00e0 di messa a fuoco sia da lontano, sia da vicino.<\/p>\nIn che modo posso correggere l\u2019astigmatismo?\n<\/b>Un\u2019 approfondita consulenza pre-operatoria di idoneit\u00e0 all'intervento\u00a0<\/b>con i nostri specialisti permetter\u00e0 di individuare la tecnica pi\u00f9 adatta alle esigenze dei vostri occhi. Non tutte le cornee, infatti, sono uguali, cos\u00ec come ogni paziente \u00e8 unico, e SERI Lugano<\/b>, grazie alla direzione scientifica del\u00a0Dr. Roberto Pinelli<\/b>, ha quindi sviluppato diverse tecniche innovative, in modo da poter risolvere i diversi fastididella sfera visiva.\n

Il trattamento utilizzato pi\u00f9 spesso \u00e8 sicuramente la\u00a0<\/a>tecnica FemtoLasik Lux\u00ae<\/a>, messa a punto e brevettata dal Dr. Roberto Pinelli. La procedura \"no-touch\"\u00a0<\/b>non impiega ferri, lame, taglienti e strumenti chirurgici ma i diversi passaggi della procedura vengono realizzati grazie a distinte fonti di luce<\/b>, che inviano i foton<\/b>i<\/strong> sulla superficie corneale con una modalit\u00e0 assolutamente non invasiva.<\/p>\nFemtosecondi<\/b>,\u00a0eccimeri\u00a0<\/b>e ultravioletti\u00a0<\/b>in tre differenti fasi della procedura per rimodellare la superficie corneale e rinforzarla con un trattamento a base di ParaCel\u00ae (riboflavina)\u00a0<\/b>e raggi UV-A (luce ultravioletta).<\/b><\/b>\n\nPer persone con uno spessore corneale particolarmente sottile \u00e8 invece stata pensata la tecnica\u00a0ASA Lux\u00ae<\/b>,che, \u00a0dopo la fase deputata alla curvatura della superficie corneale, prevede un ulteriore trattamento rinforzante della cornea tramite crosslinking osmotico transepiteliale\u00a0<\/b>che utilizza il collirio ParaCel\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>e\u00a0i <\/b>raggi UV-A (luce ultravioletta).<\/b>\n\nAnche il trattamento dell'astigmatismo, come numerosi altri interventi eseguiti nel nostro Istituto, avviene in modo bilaterale, cio\u00e8 in un\u2019unica seduta per entrambi gli occhi.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button size=\"medium\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/contatti\/\"]Richiedi + Info[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text]Difetti visivi<\/span><\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=\"9\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column]\n\n[vc_row][vc_column width=\"1\/7\"][mk_button_gradient size=\"large\" grandient_color_from=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_to=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_fallback=\"#dd3333\" url=\"https:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/fotobiomodulazione\/\" align=\"center\" fullwidth=\"true\"]Foto bio modulazione un futuro pi\u00f9 luminoso per la degenerazione maculare senile e le affezioni retiniche[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column]\n\n[vc_column width=\"1\/7\"][mk_button_gradient size=\"large\" grandient_color_from=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_to=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_fallback=\"#dd3333\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/pinelli-presby-profile-2\/\" align=\"center\" fullwidth=\"true\"]Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae:\nla soluzione per\nla presbiopia[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column]\n\n[vc_column width=\"1\/7\"][mk_button_gradient size=\"large\" grandient_color_from=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_to=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_fallback=\"#dd3333\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/cross-linking\/\" align=\"center\" fullwidth=\"true\" margin_right=\"0\"]Crosslinking osmotico transepiteliale con Paracel\u00ae per il cheratocono[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column]\n\n[vc_column width=\"1\/7\"][mk_button_gradient size=\"large\" grandient_color_from=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_to=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_fallback=\"#dd3333\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/asa-x-tra\/\" align=\"center\" fullwidth=\"true\"]ASA Lux\u00ae: ablazione superficiale e fotoni[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column]\n\n[vc_column width=\"1\/7\"][mk_button_gradient size=\"large\" grandient_color_from=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_to=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_fallback=\"#dd3333\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/patologie-della-retina\/\" align=\"center\" fullwidth=\"true\"]La retina e le sue patologie: esperienza, innovazione e natura[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column]\n\n[vc_column width=\"1\/7\"][mk_button_gradient size=\"large\" grandient_color_from=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_to=\"#dd3333\" grandient_color_fallback=\"#dd3333\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/femtolasik-lux\/\" align=\"center\" fullwidth=\"true\"]Femtolasik Lux\u00ae: il trattamento non invasivo con la luce\n[\/mk_button_gradient][\/vc_column]\n\n[\/vc_row]","_et_gb_content_width":"","inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5761","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5761","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5761"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5761\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":248342,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5761\/revisions\/248342"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5789"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5761"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
