Treatment process for phakic lenses
To give you a complete understanding of the close-up lens treatment, we'll guide you through every step of the process, starting with the first important step: scheduling a free preliminary examination. During this preliminary examination, we'll determine whether you're a candidate for this treatment and discuss your personal situation.
During this appointment, our specialized ophthalmologists will perform a thorough evaluation of your eyes to determine if you are a suitable candidate for treatment.
After the extensive preliminary examination has been completed and you and our team have made a well-considered decision about your treatment, it is time to undergo the actual treatment.
An important part of aftercare is the follow-up check-up, where your ophthalmologist will check your eyes and evaluate your recovery.

Frequently Asked Questions
Below you'll find answers to frequently asked questions about treatment with a close-up lens. If your question isn't listed here, or if you'd like further explanation, please call 0800 0088. We're happy to help.
Laser eye surgery is a relatively minor procedure and is generally safe. However, as with any medical procedure, no treatment is completely without risk. Although the procedure is performed by a highly experienced surgeon, complications however rare can never be entirely ruled out. In addition, every body responds differently.
Fortunately, most complications that may occur are well treatable.
During the pre-examination, we carefully assess whether there are any factors that may increase your risk of complications. If this is the case, we will of course discuss this with you. In consultation with the doctor, you can then make a well-informed decision. If the risk is considered too high, the doctor may advise against undergoing the treatment. Some complications can occur shortly after the procedure, such as an infection. Other issues may arise later on, for example dry eyes.
Many patients ask whether the procedure is painful. Fortunately, it is not.
During the treatment, your eye is locally anesthetized, so you will not feel any pain. You also cannot see what the surgeon is doing; you will only notice colors and bright light, but no details. You may feel slight pressure on the eye.
After the procedure, your eye may feel a bit irritated or dry. This is normal.
Most patients feel relieved afterward that the procedure was so quick and painless.
