Treatment Options
The clinic offers several laser vision correction methods. LASIK is the most common technique, priced at €3,500–€5,000 for both eyes. PRK and LASEK are alternatives for patients with thinner corneas. ReLEx SMILE is a newer, minimally invasive option.
Your surgeon will choose the best method based on your eye structure. The decision depends on corneal thickness, pupil size, and prescription strength. Some patients with presbyopia may need PresbyLASIK or Multifocal LASIK.
If laser surgery isn't suitable, Refractive Lens Exchange may be recommended. This replaces your natural lens with an artificial one.
Pre-Operative Assessment
The initial consultation costs €500–€650. It includes a comprehensive eye examination. Tests measure corneal topography, thickness, and refractive errors. OCT scans check retina and optic nerve health.
Patients with contact lenses must stop wearing them 7–10 days before the exam. This ensures accurate corneal measurements. The surgeon will review your medical history, including any past eye inflammation.
Surgery and Recovery
The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Both eyes can often be treated the same day. Surgery uses sterile single-use instruments and the latest laser systems.
Most patients go home about one hour after surgery. Vision improves rapidly. Many people resume normal activities within 24–48 hours. Full stabilization takes days to weeks.
The package includes one post-operative check-up. Additional follow-ups can be arranged separately. Post-operative care monitors your recovery and provides corrective recommendations.
