FAQ

Frequently asked questions

These are the most important and frequent questions and answers about laser eye treatment at betterview. If you can't find the answer to your question here, please get in touch with us.

Can I have my eyes lasered?

In principle, around 98% of 18 to 45-year-olds are eligible for laser eye treatment. Both astigmatism, short-sightedness and long-sightedness can be lasered (up to certain dioptre values). Refractive lens replacement is usually the better choice for people over 45. The best way to find out whether and for which of the methods you are eligible is during your free preliminary examination in our Zurich shop.

Is LASIK treatment painful?

No, treatment with the Femto-LASIK method does not cause any pain. Your eyes are anaesthetised with eye drops during the treatment. You will not feel any pain after the procedure either. A foreign body sensation in the first few hours after the treatment is normal.

What happens during treatment with the LASIK method?

Femto-LASIK is one of the most frequently used laser eye surgery methods in the world. It is completely painless and only takes a few minutes per eye: to begin with, your eyes are anaesthetised with eye drops. The femtosecond laser is then used to create a circular flap in the uppermost layer of the cornea and fold it to the side. The corneal layer underneath, which is now exposed, can then be corrected with the excimer laser. Finally, the flap is returned to its original position. The flap acts like the body's own wound dressing, which is why the healing process is quick and painless. Most patients can look forward to significantly improved visual acuity the very next day.

Can I go blind as a result of laser eye treatment?

No, in over 25 years, there is no known case of a person going blind as a direct result of laser vision correction. The laser works exclusively on the cornea - the optic nerve, for example, remains completely unaffected during the treatment. In addition, our state-of-the-art eye lasers are equipped with an eye tracker that automatically switches off the laser at the slightest eye movement. Eye diseases such as infection can occur after laser treatment. Eye diseases only occur very rarely and are treatable.

How long does it take until I achieve 100% vision?

The healing process differs depending on the laser eye surgery method. With the Femto LASIK method, the visual performance of most people treated has already improved significantly the next day. However, it can take several weeks to months until the visual acuity is stable and the actual final result is achieved.

Hält die Behandlung ein Leben lang?

As a rule, patients can do without visual aids such as contact lenses or glasses in the long term after laser correction. With very high dioptre values, vision can deteriorate again - but this is very rare. In such cases, laser treatment can usually be repeated. However, laser eye treatment does not prevent presbyopia, which occurs from around the age of 45. This is a natural sign of ageing that can be compensated for with reading glasses or varifocals or, alternatively, permanently corrected with a refractive lens replacement.
