Dr. Kneifl’s medical focus is clearly on lens surgery. This includes in particular:

  • Cataract surgery
     – gentle removal of the cloudy lens
     – Implantation of a clear artificial lens
     – Goal: to see clearly again in everyday life – when reading, driving, working
  • Refractive lens exchange (CLE/RLE)
     – Replacement of the natural lens despite a still clear lens condition
     – suitable for higher ametropia or incipient presbyopia
     – Possibility to live with significantly fewer or no glasses at all
  • Premium and multifocal lenses
     – sharp vision at multiple distances (near, middle, far)
     – Option to largely avoid reading glasses or varifocals

Dr. Kneifl can therefore plan an individually suitable lens solution for every visual task – from cataracts to “freedom from glasses from 40+”.

Clinical Experience: Chief Physician Role & High Surgical Volume

For many years, Dr. Kneifl was Senior Physician at the Ophthalmology Department of the Barmherzige Brüder in Linz and Head of the Medical Laser Center specializing in laser and lens surgery. Additionally, he was acting in the specialized field of corneal surgery.

Today, he is Head of a specialized department for ophthalmology at a regional hospital. This means for you:

  • Daily in the OR – consistently high surgical volume
  • Experience from over 10,000 surgeries (lens surgery, cataract, refractive procedures, corneal surgery)
  • Experience also with complex initial situations (previous surgeries, irregular cornea, high refractive errors)

This continuous activity as department head/chief physician ensures an up-to-date, clinically proven approach – exactly what one wishes for an eye surgery.

  • Honest, understandable advice
     – clear explanation of the options (e.g. monofocal, EDOF, multifocal lenses)
     – realistic expectations instead of “miracle promises”
  • Precise operation by Senior Physician Dr. Kneifl
     – Lens replacement and cataract surgery at clinic level
     – Use of modern surgical technology and proven lens systems
