The best treatment methods in one place:

At EyeLaser in Vienna, you’ll find the most modern treatment methods under one roof. Always using the latest technology, the most current medical procedures, and top-notch equipment – so that you feel comfortable and your eye surgery is safe and complication-free.

In the heart of Vienna (Opernring 1, Stair R, 5th Floor – 1010 Vienna), we look forward to welcoming you to our laser eye center. We have the know-how, the surgeons, and the equipment to treat almost any refractive error or eye condition in the best possible way:

The right laser eye treatment for your refractive error

Over half of the people in Austria wear glasses or contact lenses because they suffer from a refractive error. The following vision impairments – sometimes even cumulatively – make it difficult to see clearly in everyday life and leave us dependent on visual aids:

Which laser eye surgery method is suitable for your refractive error is determined individually during a comprehensive preliminary examination. At EyeLaser, our goal is always that after the procedure you no longer need to wear glasses or contact lenses. To achieve this, we offer you the following procedures:

Femto-LASIK 7D

The femtosecond laser creates a flap on the surface of the cornea, which is then lifted. Afterwards, the excimer laser reshapes the cornea to correct the refractive error.

 

  • Myopia: -8 diopters / max. -10 diopters
  • Hyperopia: 4 diopters / max. 4 diopters
  • Astigmatism: 5 diopters / max. 6 diopters
Trans-PRK 7D

Der Excimer-Laser trägt die oberste Hornhautschicht (Epithel) ab, um anschließend die Korrektur der Fehlsichtigkeit am Hornhautstroma durchzuführen. Dabei nutzen wir bei EyeLaser Wien den Schwind AMARIS 1050RS.

 

  • Kurzsichtigkeit: -6 Dioptrien / max. -8 Dioptrien
  • Weitsichtigkeit: < 3 Dioptrien / max 3 Dioptrien
  • Astigmatismus: 5 Dioptrien / max. 6 Dioptrien
SmartSight

Without a flap or extensive corneal removal, SmartSight is performed as a “keyhole procedure.” Through a tiny incision, a lenticule is precisely shaped and removed, allowing you to see perfectly.

 

  • Myopia: -0.5 to -10 diopters
  • Hyperopia: Correction not possible
  • Astigmatism: 5 diopters

Lens surgery instead of laser eye surgery – also for cataracts

If conventional laser eye surgery is not suitable – for example, because the refractive error is too severe or an eye condition like cataracts is present – we offer lens surgery in Vienna as an equally effective alternative. Common applications include:

  • Cataract surgery
  • Lens replacement for presbyopia (55+)
  • Correction of high refractive errors

In this procedure, the refractive error itself or the cataract is not treated using a laser. Instead, the natural lens is either supplemented with an implantable collamer lens (ICL) or replaced with an artificial lens, enabling you to see clearly again and permanently eliminating the clouding of cataracts.

ICL Linsenimplantation

The natural lens is complemented by a foldable artificial lens made of Collamer (ICL phakic lens). Together, they correct the refractive error. Lens implantation in Vienna is particularly beneficial for:

 

  • Thin corneas / dry eyes
  • Individuals who are not suitable candidates for laser eye surgery
  • Irregular corneas
Lens replacement with monofocal lenses (standard cataract surgery)

Regardless of nearsightedness, farsightedness, or cataract: The natural lens is removed and replaced with an artificial lens. This way, cataracts can be cured or prevented, and isolated vision errors corrected.

 

  • Monofocal lenses have a single focal point.
  • After the procedure, a vision aid is necessary.
  • Astigmatism correction included.
Lens replacement with multifocal lenses (Cataract surgery lifestyle)

In contrast to standard lens replacement, state-of-the-art multifocal lenses are used here instead of the natural lens. These feature multiple focal points, which provides the patient with the following benefits:

 

  • Cataract surgery and vision correction in one procedure
  • Never again glasses or contact lenses
  • Astigmatism correction included

Correct presbyopia & treat keratoconus

Already in your mid-40s, your vision may begin to decline—a gradual process toward presbyopia. But here at EyeLaser in Vienna, we have the right procedures to stop and correct presbyopia so that you can do without visual aids even in your later years. In our eye laser center in Vienna, we offer you the following presbyopia treatments:

Keratoconus causes a progressive thinning due to the protrusion of the cornea. It is the most common reason for needing a corneal transplant. However, with Crosslinking, the bulging can be halted and possibly even reversed. Afterwards, treatment with keratoconus ring segments can help, a procedure we offer at our eye laser center in Vienna as one of the few clinics worldwide.

Laser Eye Surgery in Bratislava? Or is it better in Vienna?

We frequently hear from patients who are considering having their laser eye treatment performed abroad instead. For people from Austria, or specifically Vienna, the option of going to Bratislava for laser eye surgery seems to be a viable alternative. The number one reason cited is often the cost for the correction of refractive errors.

Laser Eye Surgery Cost Per Eye Abroad: Really Cheaper?

But is laser eye surgery in Bratislava really that much cheaper? The short answer is: Sometimes it might appear so at first glance. However, it is often forgotten that you also have to bear additional costs for travel – especially for follow-up appointments – and possibly accommodation expenses. When you add up all the costs, the price difference is hardly noticeable.

Don't compromise on your own health when it comes to laser treatment:

Before even considering price comparisons, it is worthwhile to look at the services offered. When it comes to laser eye surgery in Vienna at EyeLaser, you can be confident that the highest medical standards are maintained, that you are treated by experienced, internationally renowned surgeons, and that you always have access to the latest and best laser eye surgery procedures.

Moreover, as a resident of Vienna or Austria, you are always nearby and can come to our eye laser center at short notice if needed.

What is the cost of laser eye surgery without glasses at the Eye Laser Center in Vienna:

At EyeLaser, we are transparent with our prices – there are no hidden costs. The suitability test is free. The preliminary examination costs 200 Euros. Everything is included in the price – the all-inclusive laser eye surgery package:

  • 3 follow-up appointments until complete healing

The costs for laser eye surgery in our centers in Vienna and Linz vary depending on the chosen treatment method. You can find a price overview here!
