Laser eye treatment can correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness and corneal curvature. Basic requirements are a good physical condition and healthy eyes. If you suffer from presbyopia, then a refractive lens exchange is usually more suitable. In a free, no obligation 45-minute preliminary examination in our shop in Bern, you will find out which treatment method is best for you.

At betterview, only the most modern technologies are used to ensure safe and highly precise treatment. The laser eye procedures we offer in our shops have proven themselves over the long term and are among the gold standards of refractive surgery. In addition to our laser eye treatments, we also offer lens implantation and refractive lens exchange—they are excellent alternatives if laser treatment is not an option.

Laser treatment at betterview begins with your free, no obligation preliminary examination: our team of ophthalmologists and optometrists first check whether you are suitable for laser eye treatment. In a second appointment, which is also free of charge and no obligation for you, all further examinations that are necessary for a safe and successful treatment will be carried out. The treatment itself takes less than 15 minutes. Depending on the treatment method, the follow-up takes place the next day or five days later.

No. In order for you not to feel any pain during the treatment, at the beginning your eyes are anaesthetised with eye drops. The actual treatment with the laser also only takes a few seconds per eye. Also, the healing process is not painful. However, a foreign body sensation in the first hours after treatment is normal. With TransPRK, pain can occur two to three days after treatment, but it can be easily managed with painkillers. A foreign body sensation can last up to five days.

No, in more than 25 years, there has not been a single case in which a person has gone blind directly due to laser vision correction. During laser eye treatment, only the cornea is corrected. Parts of the eye whereby injury could lead to blindness, such as the optic nerve, remain completely untouched during treatment. In addition, betterview uses only the latest laser technologies, which are equipped with an eye tracker that automatically switches itself off at the slightest eye movement. After laser treatment, eye diseases, such as infection, can occur in very rare cases, but can be treated.

Yes, most clients can dispense with visual aids such as glasses or contact lenses after their laser eye treatment. In rare cases (usually with very high diopter values), it can happen that the visual acuity deteriorates again after some time. As a rule, however, laser treatment can then be performed in a second procedure.

Damit du während der Behandlung keine Schmerzen spürst, werden deine Augen zu Beginn mit Augentropfen betäubt. Die eigentliche Laserbehandlung dauert pro Auge nur wenige Minuten. Auch nach dem Eingriff sind Schmerzen in der Regel nicht zu erwarten. Ein Fremdkörpergefühl in den ersten Stunden ist jedoch normal und vorübergehend. Bei einer Behandlung mit Trans-PRK können in den ersten zwei bis drei Tagen nach dem Eingriff Schmerzen auftreten, die sich mit Schmerzmitteln gut kontrollieren lassen.

Bei der Augenlaserbehandlung wird ausschliesslich die Hornhaut behandelt. Wichtige Strukturen wie der Sehnerv, deren Verletzung eine Erblindung verursachen könnte, bleiben während des Eingriffs vollkommen unberührt. betterview verwendet zudem modernste Lasertechnologien mit Eye-Tracking-Systemen, die die kleinsten Augenbewegungen sofort verfolgen. Nach der Behandlung können in sehr seltenen Fällen Augenerkrankungen wie Infektionen auftreten, diese sind jedoch gut behandelbar.

Ja, die meisten Kunden können nach der Augenlaserbehandlung langfristig auf Sehhilfen wie Brille oder Kontaktlinsen verzichten. In seltenen Fällen – meist bei sehr hohen Dioptrienwerten – kann sich die Sehstärke im Laufe der Zeit erneut verändern. In solchen Fällen ist oft eine Nachbehandlung möglich, um das Ergebnis zu optimieren.
