Ideal for prospective patients who want to see an eye surgeon and receive a complete treatment plan.

Guarantee without risk

Suppose we find out that you are not suitable for laser eye surgery or lens implantation or that you do not want treatment. In this case, we will only charge you for the ophthalmological examination and any contact lens simulation (as with monovision).

Why do some surgeons advise against SmartSight or Relex-Smile?

In principle, the SmartSight or Relex Smile method is only not recommended if the treating dentist does not have the technology available or is not familiar with the innovative small incision technique.

Treatment of keratoconus

CROSS-LINKING (named after the effect it produces) – also known as cross-linking, cross-collagenization of the cornea or CXL – stiffens the cornea and increases its mechanical resistance. The stiffening of the cornea is achieved by increasing the number of connections between the collagen fibers that make up the cornea. It occurs under the influence of UVA irradiation of the cornea. To increase the sensitivity of the superficial layers of the cornea to UVA radiation, the cornea is impregnated with a special photosensitizing substance, riboflavin (vitamin B2). Clinical studies confirm that the effect of riboflavin helps to slow down or stop the disease and in some cases even reverse it. This procedure therefore avoids the need for a corneal transplant.

CAIRS is an advanced, minimally invasive surgical procedure that aims to correct visual impairments by thinning and bulging the cornea. In contrast to conventional implants made of synthetic materials, the CAIRS procedure uses natural, biocompatible corneal segments from a donor, known as KeraNatural™. This natural tissue is designed to integrate seamlessly with your own cornea, reducing the risk of complications associated with synthetic implants.

The diagnostic equipment alone costs around 150-300 thousand euros.

Then the laser (the femtosecond laser) costs around 500 thousand for the first step of the procedure, with usage fees per eye ranging from €350-450. These are typical costs for laser eye surgery, which can vary depending on the method and clinic.

Then there is the typical cost range for the excimer laser (which shapes the eye), which is €150,000 at the lower end and almost €450,000 at the upper end (we are certainly at the upper end). This laser is often used in laser eye surgery to correct vision defects such as short-sightedness or long-sightedness.

In addition, there is the cost of training as an eye surgeon, which usually takes around 18 years – most of this time after graduation.

Then there are the costs of the premises, support staff, insurance and other ancillary costs associated with running a world-class clinic in a major city center.
