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.

What requirements do I need to meet for laser eye surgery?

Generally, most people between 18 and 45 years old are eligible for laser eye surgery. Basic requirements include farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism, as well as being in good general health. Additionally, you should not have any eye diseases (such as keratoconus or glaucoma). To find out if you are suitable for laser eye surgery and which method would be best for you, we recommend scheduling a free, no-obligation preliminary examination at our shop in Lugano.

Will I still need glasses and contact lenses after my laser treatment?

Most treated patients can completely stop using vision aids. In cases of very high diopter values, vision may deteriorate again. However, this is very rare and can often be corrected with a second laser treatment.

How long does it take to achieve 100% vision?

The healing time depends on the laser eye surgery method. With Femto-LASIK, the healing period is relatively short and completely painless: most patients can expect a significant improvement in their vision the day after treatment. However, it may take several weeks to months before the desired final result is achieved.

How does a laser treatment procedure work at betterview in Lugano?

A laser eye treatment at betterview always begins with a preliminary examination: During the free, no-obligation 30-minute initial consultation, our team of eye doctors and optometrists checks whether you are suitable for the procedure. For this purpose, we examine your corneal stability and your existing vision aids, among other things. During a second appointment, the main examination, we conduct all the tests necessary for a successful and safe laser correction. The treatment itself takes place on a separate date and takes less than 15 minutes. Depending on the treatment method, the follow-up check takes place either the next day or five days later.

Is LASIK treatment painful?

During laser eye treatment using the Femto-LASIK method, your eyes are first numbed with eye drops - so the treatment itself is completely painless. You won't experience any pain after the treatment either. A sensation of having something in your eye during the first few hours after the procedure is not unusual.

Can I go blind from laser eye surgery?

No, in over 25 years, there has not been a known case of someone going blind directly from laser eye surgery. Other eye conditions, such as infections, can occur after the procedure. However, these eye conditions are very rare and are treatable.

Which locations does betterview have in Switzerland?

Currently, betterview has locations in Zurich, Bern, St. Gallen, Basel, Lucerne, Lugano, Chur and Aarau.
