All treatments have advantages and disadvantages. Therefore, it is difficult to say which treatment is best for you. This depends, among other things, on your personal preferences, your circumstances (such as work and sports), and the type of eye condition you have.
We will, of course, provide you with extensive information about all the advantages and disadvantages of the different treatment methods so that you can make an informed choice yourself. However, you cannot make a wrong decision. All methods are safe, effective, and have a very high success rate.
TransPRK:
With this treatment, the outer thin layer of the cornea is removed. After the procedure, you will wear a protective bandage contact lens for a few days. The total treatment time is only about 30 seconds per eye.
IntraLASIK:
In this procedure, the doctor creates a flap using the VisuMax laser. The underlying tissue is then treated with an excimer laser. The treatment takes approximately 2 to 5 minutes per eye.
Relex SmilePro:
In this treatment, a small lens-shaped piece of tissue is created beneath the surface of the cornea using the VisuMax laser. The surgeon then makes a small opening in the cornea to remove this lenticule. This treatment also takes approximately 1 to 5 minutes per eye.
