Dark circles under the eyes do not always have the same origin, and...
Dr. Ali Nowrouzi sees patients in Marbella from across the Costa del Sol (Puerto Banús, San Pedro de Alcántara, Estepona, Benahavís, Fuengirola, Mijas and Málaga), as well as international patients travelling to Spain, who are looking for a specialist eye assessment, a second opinion or eye surgery, in English or Spanish.
Refractive surgery is a group of surgical techniques that correct vision problems such as short-sightedness (myopia), long-sightedness (hypermetropia), astigmatism and presbyopia, with the aim of reducing your dependence on glasses or contact lenses. There are laser options (such as LASIK, PRK and SMILE) and non-laser options (such as ICL phakic lenses or premium intraocular lenses).

Presbyopia can be treated with multifocal, trifocal or extended depth of focus (EDOF) intraocular lenses, especially from the age of 45, and in some cases with laser treatment. These lenses aim to provide functional distance, intermediate and near vision; the lens is chosen to suit your eye and can reduce the need for glasses, although there is no guarantee that you will not need them. Dr. Ali Nowrouzi specialises in presbyopia surgery and personalises each treatment.
These are advanced lens implants placed inside the eye during lens or cataract surgery. Unlike standard monofocal IOLs, premium IOLs (multifocal, toric or extended depth of focus) aim to provide clear vision at several distances, and toric IOLs also correct astigmatism. They can be a good option if you want to depend less on glasses: the lens is chosen according to the characteristics of your eye, and it can reduce the need for glasses, but there is no guarantee that you will not need them.
Dr. Ali Nowrouzi MD, FACS, FICO, FWCRS, FEBOS-CR is an ophthalmologist in Marbella. He holds the FEBOS-CR, the European subspecialty diploma in cataract and refractive surgery awarded by the European Board of Ophthalmology and the ESCRS after a dedicated examination. His practice focuses on refractive and premium intraocular lens surgery, with a personalised assessment of each patient.
Suitability depends on several factors: age, type of refractive error, the condition of the natural lens, the thickness and shape of the cornea, lifestyle and expectations. Dr. Nowrouzi carries out a full, detailed assessment at the first consultation to recommend the most suitable technique for each case.
There is no single ‘best’ technique for everyone. Laser procedures such as LASIK or SMILE are usually recommended for younger people with healthy corneas. ICL is usually more suitable for high prescriptions or thin corneas, and premium intraocular lenses (Lens Upgrade) from the age of 45. Dr. Nowrouzi assesses each case individually to choose the most suitable option.
Yes. Many patients choose presbyopia surgery with premium intraocular lenses before cataracts appear, to see well at distance and near. This procedure, known as Lens Upgrade (Refractive Lens Exchange / Lens Replacement), also prevents cataracts from developing in the future.
Depending on the case, Dr. Nowrouzi uses a femtosecond laser (to create the Femto-LASIK flap or the SMILE pro lenticule and, in cataract surgery, to make the incisions and open the lens capsule), an excimer laser (to reshape the cornea in Femto-LASIK, PRK and TransPRK, with Wavefront Optimized or personalised wavefront-guided or topography-guided profiles) and tests such as aberrometry and high-resolution corneal topography, which make it possible to plan and personalise each operation.
It depends on the technique. After Femto-LASIK and SMILE pro, vision usually recovers within 24–48 hours; after PRK and TransPRK, within a few days or weeks. After intraocular lens surgery, full recovery can take one to two weeks. In both cases, your progress is checked at follow-up appointments.
It varies from case to case. Many patients no longer need glasses for most activities, at distance and near, but not every patient achieves this. This depends on the right surgical indication, an accurate diagnosis and well-executed surgery.
