Rio de Janeiro Brazil: Visare Rio is pleased to announce that Ophthalmologist Dr. Renato Ambrosio Jr has been recognized for his training and experience, as well as his success rate in refractive surgery. He has received the ranking of #9 globally for ophthalmologic skills. This component of the field of ophthamology is constantly evolving and improving. Refractive surgeries are the procedures which reduce the need for visual correction, such as the use of glasses and contact lenses. Complete independence from corrective eye wear is possible in more than nine of ten cases.
Refractive correction procedures are done in any of several ways. The most common are Surface Ablation and Corneal laser correction being the most common. The procedures are elective in nature, but they are functional, rather than being purely for aesthetic reasons.
Candidates for refractive surgery should be over eighteen years of age, not pregnant, In addition, the refractive degree must be stable, No ocular or systemic diseases that compromise the healing of the cornea can be present. A complete ophthalmic examination is necessary, which should include a retinal examination, which may often need to be performed by the Retina and Vitreous specialist. Follow-up of the retina should also be done after surgery, since the features related to myopia are not altered with corneal surgery.
Certain specific cases must be analyzed individually to ensure that the best procedures are being implemented. Patients will need a Cornea Tomography and Aberrometry test before the procedure is approved.
The doctor carefully selected the technology used on patients. Currently the VISX S4 IR CustomVue platforms are used in Barra and the Allegretto Wavelight Eye Q in Ipanema. Dr. Ambrosio is an international consultant and a trainer for both firms. The laser equipment is approved by the American Food and Drug Administration. The most advanced commercially available software of each firm is utilized.
