By Dr. Victor Derhartunian<\/strong>, FEBO \u2013 EyeLaser Vienna, Opernring 1 \u00b7 Reference Center for SCHWIND<\/p>\n

For those living in Lower Austria, we are often closer than you think. Our clinic is located at Opernring 1 in the 1st district<\/strong> \u2013 directly opposite the State Opera, where the Badner Bahn terminates and the U1, U2, and U4 subway lines converge. From M\u00f6dling, Baden, or Klosterneuburg, you can be here in just under half an hour; from St. P\u00f6lten or Krems, in just over an hour. For the western part of Lower Austria \u2013 such as Amstetten or Waidhofen \u2013 our Linz location<\/a> is often the shorter route. <\/p>\n

Both locations usable for aftercare<\/p>\n

Which treatment for which eye<\/h2>\n

The procedure suitable for you is determined not by preference, but by measurement: corneal thickness, diopter value, tear film, and lens status. The preliminary examination takes approximately two hours and forms the basis of every recommendation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Every treatment is preceded by a detailed preliminary examination. If it shows that a procedure is not advisable for you, we will tell you openly. \u20ac200 \u2013 in such cases, we explicitly advise against it. All prices and payment plans can be found on the Laser Eye Surgery Costs<\/a> and Lens Surgery Costs<\/a> pages. <\/p>\n

Your path in four steps<\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Make an appointment.<\/strong> Online or by phone at +43 50 236. Please state which district you are coming from \u2013 we will schedule appointments to minimize your travel. <\/li>\n
  2. Preliminary examination in Vienna (approx. 2 hours).<\/strong> Complete measurement of both eyes, followed by a personal consultation with the surgeon. Please bring an accompanying person or travel by public transport \u2013 your pupils will be dilated. <\/li>\n
  3. The treatment.<\/strong> Outpatient, under local anesthesia, usually both eyes on the same day. The actual procedure takes only a few minutes per eye. <\/li>\n
  4. Follow-up appointments.<\/strong> On the day after the procedure, then as scheduled \u2013 in Vienna or Linz, whichever suits you better.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Frequently Asked Questions from Lower Austria<\/h2>\n

    Do I have to travel to Vienna for every follow-up appointment?<\/h3>\n

    No. We operate two locations \u2013 Vienna and Linz \u2013 and you can attend follow-up appointments where it is closer for you. However, the first check-up on the day after the procedure takes place where you were operated on. <\/p>\n

    Can I drive home myself after the preliminary examination?<\/h3>\n

    No. For the measurement, your pupils will be dilated, which impairs vision for several hours. Travel by public transport or bring someone to drive you. The same applies to the day of the treatment. <\/p>\n

    Does the \u00d6GK cover the costs?<\/h3>\n

    Laser eye treatment for freedom from glasses is considered a private service and is not paid for by the \u00d6GK. The situation is different for cataracts: cataract surgery is a service covered by health insurance in a public hospital \u2013 but without free choice of doctor. At EyeLaser, you are a private patient and pay \u20ac3,500 per eye, regardless of the lens type; we do not have a surcharge for premium lenses. Details can be found on the Cataracts (Cataract)<\/a> page. <\/p>\n

    How long will I be unable to work?<\/h3>\n

    After Femto-LASIK and SmartSight, most patients see well again the next day and return to work after one to two days. After Trans-PRK, surface healing takes four to seven days \u2013 plan for one week here. After a lens exchange, vision stabilizes over several days to weeks. <\/p>\n

    I already have cataracts \u2013 is laser treatment still advisable?<\/h3>\n

    Generally, no. If your natural lens is clouding, lens exchange is the better option: it resolves the clouding and simultaneously corrects the refractive error. What needs to be considered is explained under Lens Implantation Vienna<\/a>. <\/p>\n
