Each refractive process has advantages and disadvantages, find the right method for your needs
Dr. Valery Vinzent Wittwer
These four procedures are currently considered standard in refractive surgery. Areas of Application, Advantages and Disadvantages meet the criteria of Refractive Surgery Commission (KRC)
Femto-LASIK
(LASIK)
Short and painless for small to moderate vision defects in normal cornea
1. LASIK flap 2. Stromal bed 3. Laser ablation 4. Corrected focal point
Benefits
Very short and painless recovery time
Drawbacks
The eyes may become drier
Unsuitable for policemen and martial artists due to the risk of the flap slipping due to a blow to the eye
From around 50 years of age, the natural intraocular lens can be replaced by an optimally adapted artificial intraocular lens, which corresponds to early cataract surgery
1. Artificial intraocular lens (hybrid EDOF/monofocal) 2. Corrects vision defects 3. Proximity to medium distance smooth without transition 4. Remote
Benefits
All refractive refractive defects, as well as presbyopia, can be corrected in this way
There will be no more cataract surgery later
Drawbacks
Internal eye surgery with greater risks than laser eye procedures
