Refractive surgery is a specific discipline of ocular microsurgery aimed at modifying the surface of the cornea, influencing the refraction of light passing through it, and thereby correcting visual impairments and presbyopia. Reshaping the surface of the cornea can only be entrusted to the expert hands of a person with experience in this highly specific specialty of ophthalmic surgery.\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the basis of his extensive training and many years of surgical experience, Dr Pinelli has always believed in the importance of avoiding any kind of traumatic intervention to the eye.<\/p>\n
This objective is achieved with the use of photons, which allow a “no touch” approach using three different light energies, and without the need for surgical scalpels or instruments. It can therefore be defined as a “non-surgical treatment”. Photons are infinitesimally small particles of light which are sent to the corneal surface to modify its curvature in a very natural and completely non-invasive way, respecting the structure of the eye and its physiological characteristics.<\/p>\n
Femtolasik Lux\u00ae, Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae and ASA Lux\u00ae developed by Dr Pinelli, share the use of the exciplex laser, a beam of light directed onto the cornea according to a specific algorithm, which he fine-tunes to take into account the patient’s many ocular parameters as determined during the patient suitability assessment. The Femtolasik Lux\u00ae and Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae also make use of femtosecond light to lift the corneal epithelium without cutting into it.<\/p>\n

For this reason, these “no-touch” procedures can to all intents and purposes be considered “non-surgical”. Femtolasik Lux\u00ae resolves short-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism, and is adapted to the Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae in cases of presbyopia.<\/p>\n
ASA Lux\u00ae is a viable alternative to Femtolasik Lux\u00ae when the patient’s corneal surface is indeed too thin. This is quite a rare use in fact, as Femtolasik Lux\u00ae is also indicated for those who were previously considered unsuitable for treatment with the Lasik technique due to their thin corneal surface.<\/p>\n
Osmotic Transepithelial Corneal Crosslinking with ParaCel\u00ae for keratoconus also falls within the remit of corneal treatments, since keratoconus demonstrates a conical shape in the cornea, which creates blurred vision due to the simultaneous presence of short-sightedness and astigmatism, which worsen over time in most patients. The treatment developed by Dr Pinelli does not remove the corneal epithelium, so it is completely pain-free and can be repeated if necessary.<\/p>\n
The synergy between UV-A rays and ParaCel\u00ae eye drops, devised and developed by Dr Pinelli to channel ultraviolet light into the cornea without removing its surface, creates new bonds between the collagen fibres of the cornea, strengthens it, and prevents the often-feared corneal transplant, which was at one time considered the inevitable outcome of progressive keratoconus. ParaCel\u00ae Osmotic Transepithelial Corneal Crosslinking is therefore not a treatment to eliminate keratoconus, but rather a treatment to halt its progression, thus avoiding corneal transplantation. The use of photons in their various types and modulations, the bilateral nature of the treatment, the absence of pain, being able to go home from the clinic straight afterwards, and the very rapid visual recovery are the features common to all corneal treatments at SERI Lugano.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default”][et_pb_column _builder_version=”4.24.3″ _module_preset=”default” type=”4_4″][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 chirurgia refrattiva corneale\u00a0<\/b>\u00e8 una specifica disciplina della microchirurgia oculare<\/b>, che ha l'obiettivo di modificare la superficie della cornea<\/b>, influendo sulla refrazione della luce che l\u2019attraversa e conseguentemente di risolvere i difetti visivi.\nLa superficie della cornea deve essere modificata da mani esperte e formate a questa particolarissima specialit\u00e0 dell'oftalmochirurgia. <\/b>Il Dr. Pinelli crede da sempre nell'importanza di eliminare la chirurgia nel trattamento dei difetti visivi e ha messo a punto un approccio \"no touch\"\u00a0<\/i><\/b>per la modificazione della cornea che impiega tre diverse fonti di luce\u00a0<\/b>e non utilizza lame o ferri chirurgici\u00a0<\/b>e per questo motivo pu\u00f2 essere definita \"non-chirurgica\"<\/b>. I fotoni, particelle di luce<\/b>, vengono inviati sulla superficie corneale per modificarne la curvatura in maniera molto naturale e assolutamente non invasiva, rispettando la struttura oculare che non viene quindi sottoposta al minimo trauma.<\/p>\nLa\u00a0<\/span>Femtolasik Lux\u00ae, la Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>e la\u00a0ASA Lux\u00ae<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>sono state messe a punto e per primo introdotte in Europa dal Dr. Roberto Pinelli: condividono l'utilizzo del laser ad eccimeri<\/b>, un fascio di luce particolarmente preciso che viene indirizzato sulla cornea in base ad uno specifico algoritmo<\/b>, che egli mette a punto tenendo conto dei moltissimi parametri oculari del paziente, che vengono rilevati in modo accurato nel corso della consulenza di idoneit\u00e0<\/b>. In particolare la Femtolasik Lux\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>e la Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>si avvalgono anche della luce a femtosecondi\u00a0<\/b>per sollevare l'epitelio corneale senza inciderlo. Per questo motivo queste tecniche \"no touch\" possono a tutti gli effetti essere considerate procedure \"non-chirurgiche\". La Pinelli Presby Profile\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>\u00e8 indicata per il trattamento della presbiopia<\/b>, la Femtolasik Lux\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>per risolvere miopia, ipermetropia ed astigmatismo<\/b>. La ASA Lux\u00ae <\/b>\u00e8 una valida alternativa alla Femtolasik Lux\u00ae\u00a0<\/b>quando la superficie corneale del paziente \u00e8 davvero troppo sottile. Il suo utilizzo \u00e8 sicuramente notevolmente ridotto da quando il Dr. Pinelli ha introdotto la Femtolasik Lux\u00ae, <\/b>perch\u00e9 quest'ultima \u00e8 indicata anche a pazienti che in passato non venivano ritenuti idonei ad un trattamento con tecnica lasik a causa dell'esiguo spessore corneale.\n\nLo Switzerland Eye Research Institute <\/b>di Lugano <\/b>\u00e8 stato il primo centro ad introdurre in Canton Ticino\u00a0<\/b>un laser a femtosecondi. <\/b>Ci\u00f2<\/b>consente al Dr. Pinelli di modellare la cornea senza incisioni\u00a0<\/b>e con un livello di accuratezza e <\/b>di\u00a0sicurezza <\/b>per il paziente<\/b>mai raggiunte in passato.\n\nAnche il\u00a0cross linking corneale<\/b>\u00a0per la cura del cheratocono\u00a0<\/b>rientra nelle tecniche di chirurgia refrattiva corneale, perch\u00e9 questa patologia modifica una o pi\u00f9 aree corneali inducendo una forma conica che crea visione sfuocata per la compresenza di miopia\u00a0<\/b>ed astigmatismo\u00a0<\/b>che nel corso del tempo si aggravano in buona parte dei pazienti. Il\u00a0cross linking corneale transepiteliale osmotico<\/b>\u00a0messo a punto dal Dottor Roberto Pinelli non necessita di rimuovere l'epitelio corneale, \u00e8 assolutamente indolore ed \u00e8 ripetibile. La sinergia tra i raggi UV-A\u00a0<\/b>e il collirio\u00a0ParaCel\u00ae<\/b>, ideato dal\u00a0Dr. Pinelli<\/b>, crea nuovi legami tra le fibre di collagene\u00a0<\/b>della cornea, la fortifica e sventa il temuto trapianto di cornea<\/b>, ritenuto tradizionalmente il naturale epilogo del cheratocono progressivo. Il\u00a0cross linking corneale transepiteliale osmotico <\/b>non \u00e9 dunque un trattamento per eliminare il cheratocono, ma una terapia per ed fermarne l'evoluzione evitare cos\u00ec il trapianto di cornea<\/b>, ipotesi che comprensibilmente tanto preoccupa i pazienti affetti da cheratocono.\n\nLa bilateralit\u00e0\u00a0<\/b>degli interventi, l'assenza di dolore<\/b>, la dimissione immediata\u00a0<\/b>e il recupero visivo\u00a0<\/b>rapidissimo, sono caratteristiche trasversali alle diverse tecniche di chirurgia refrattiva corneale proposte da\u00a0SERI Lugano, <\/b>che quindi si ritrovano in tutte le procedure a base di fotoni per l'eliminazione dei difetti visivi e della presbiopia e anche nel trattamento del cheratocono.[\/vc_column_text][mk_button size=\"medium\" url=\"http:\/\/www.seri-lugano.ch\/contatti\/\" target=\"_blank\"]Richiedi + Info[\/mk_button][\/vc_column][vc_column width=\"1\/3\"][vc_column_text align=\"right\"]\n Dipartimenti di SERI Lugano<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_wp_custommenu nav_menu=\"6\"][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][mk_padding_divider][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]\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-5784","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5784","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=5784"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5784\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":248332,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5784\/revisions\/248332"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/seri-lugano.ch\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5784"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
