For Vorarlberg: a Life without Glasses Starts Now in Zurich.

No, the costs for a treatment at our Zurich clinic are identical to those in Vienna, as you benefit from our Austrian pricing structure. We believe that high-quality medical care should be affordable, regardless of location. This transparent pricing policy makes the decision for our Zurich clinic particularly attractive.

Generally, laser eye treatment is considered a cosmetic procedure and is a private service not covered by statutory health insurance funds in Austria, such as the ÖGK. However, there are exceptions for medical necessity, so it is advisable to inquire with your health insurance provider beforehand. Private health insurance or supplementary insurance often covers the majority of the costs under certain conditions.

The entire process is very efficient and patient-oriented. The comprehensive preliminary examination takes about two hours to check your suitability and precisely plan the treatment. The laser treatment itself only takes a few minutes per eye, and the entire stay at the clinic is usually completed within one morning.

No, that is one of our biggest advantages for patients from Switzerland and Austria. You have full flexibility and can attend your follow-up appointments both at our main location in Vienna and directly in Zurich. This arrangement allows for convenient and uncomplicated aftercare without having to undertake long journeys.

Most laser eye methods, such as SmartSight or Femto-LASIK, allow for very quick recovery. Depending on your occupation, you can usually return to work after one to two days. For more physically demanding professions, we recommend a slightly longer recovery period to ensure an optimal result.

The treatment is completely painless, as you receive numbing eye drops before the procedure that completely desensitize the eye. You will only feel a slight pressure or a sensation of touch during the short procedure. Most patients find the treatment surprisingly quick and uncomplicated.

Most people with a refractive error are suitable candidates for laser eye treatment. However, we will verify this definitively and free of charge during your initial consultation, which comes with no obligations. At this appointment, we will comprehensively analyze your eyes to determine which method is best suited for you.

In the few cases where laser treatment is not possible, we offer state-of-the-art lens implants such as the ICL as a perfect alternative. This method is ideal for very high refractive errors, thin corneas, or other medical reasons. The lenses can remain permanently in the eye or be removed again if necessary.

Our location in Zurich offers you a unique combination of geographical proximity and the proven medical standards of an established Austrian provider. You benefit from the proximity to Vorarlberg, the attractive prices, and the medical quality you are accustomed to from us. It is the perfect compromise between local accessibility and first-class care.

Zurich is excellently accessible from all of Vorarlberg. By car, it’s only about 1 to 1.5 hours depending on your starting point, which makes the journey very convenient. Furthermore, there are fast and direct train connections that allow for a stress-free ride.
