Ophthalmic Surgeon · Refractive Surgery
Refractive surgery, intraocular lenses and cataract surgery to reduce or eliminate dependence on glasses and contact lenses.
Refractive surgery includes techniques that correct vision defects — myopia, hyperopia, astigmatism and presbyopia. There are two main approaches: laser surgery, which reshapes the cornea (Femtolasik, PRK, Trans-PRK, SMILE), and intraocular lenses, which correct vision without acting on the cornea (ICL, cataract surgery with premium IOLs). The choice between the two depends on corneal thickness and the type of vision defect, and is defined after the diagnostic examination.
Latest-generation laser techniques reshape the cornea to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. I choose the procedure best suited to your eye: from the minimally invasive SMILE incision to the surface precision of Trans-PRK. Fast recovery, outpatient procedure.

See if it is right for you →Cataract surgery can also become an opportunity to reduce dependence on glasses. In many cases, premium multifocal lenses can provide good vision at multiple distances.

Request information →Latest-generation laser systems combine eye tracking, corneal mapping and micrometric precision for safe, personalized treatments on each eye.
The eye-tracking system follows microscopic eye movements in real time during laser treatment, helping direct each pulse to the intended point, supporting the precision of the treatment.
I am an ophthalmologist specializing in refractive surgery, graduating with highest honors from Magna Graecia University. I have gained experience in hospitals and specialist clinics, focusing on the most modern techniques in eye surgery.
I collaborate with Clinica Baviera – European Ophthalmic Institute, a leading center in refractive surgery, where I completed international training across Madrid, Barcelona, Murcia, Turin and Milan.
Alongside surgery, I also practice general clinical ophthalmology: complete eye examinations, routine check-ups and management of common eye conditions.

Verified reviews from MioDottore.it
From the first visit he proved to be an extremely competent, reassuring professional who made me feel at ease. The Femtolasik procedure was quick and painless, and the result exceeded my expectations.
I underwent lens extraction surgery and from the very first meeting I felt reassured and cared for with great professionalism and humanity. My quality of life has improved enormously.
I thought carefully before undergoing surgery until I found Dr. Latella. He was able to give me peace of mind throughout the whole process. Discovering that I had reached 12/10 vision was emotional.
