Fear of laser eye surgery: Much ado about nothing.

Author: Dr. Victor Derhartunian 21 April 2015
Almost everyone is afraid of surgery, even if it is only a minor procedure. It is therefore not surprising that the majority of patients are also afraid of corrective eye surgery. We take away your fear.

Patients are often anxious about seeking treatment despite persistent complaints. So much so that many put off an appointment for a free, no-obligation consultation for weeks or even months. Our team at EyeLaser takes away this fear in a completely relaxed atmosphere. Before, during and after laser eye correction.

Short and sweet.

The most important information for our patients is that they do not feel any pain during the procedure.
The eyes are carefully anaesthetized with anaesthetic drops. Of course, we realize that some patients are still worried and more anxious than others. This is normal and an understandable feeling. However, you won’t have long to worry too much. On average, treatment of both eyes takes no longer than 10 to 15 minutes.

Our experts are there for you.

Of course, a highly qualified eye surgeon will guide you through the treatment step by step and keep you informed at all times. Many patients tell us after the treatment that they were pleasantly surprised or even “shocked” that there was no pain at all.

After the operation, you will be given eye drops for care or as gentle relief in the event of irritation or discomfort. The vast majority of patients return to their normal daily routine just 24 hours after the operation.

Worry is human. But not necessary.

Worrying about such a procedure is understandable and completely understandable. But if you put yourself in the hands of the specialists at EyeLaser, you are on the safe side. We take care of your complete satisfaction: from the initial contact to the treatment and aftercare. If you have any further questions, please feel free to contact us at any time
