Refractive Surgery
SMILE LASIK is the most advanced procedure existing in modern laser surgery.
The first minimally invasive vision correction procedure offers high safety and comfort to patients. The desired vision is achieved by creating a lenticule inside the cornea, which is later removed through a small (1.5~2mm) incision. The cutting-edge technology used for performing SMILE surgery is provided by the lead manufacturer Zeiss. The laser is characterized by supreme precision and speed.

Custom LASIK adds a lot more personalization to the standard Lasik surgery.
All measurements taken during the eye examination are used to create a precise map of the refractive errors (including the higher-order aberrations (HOAs) that cannot be fixed with regular contact lenses or glasses). Based on the patient's personal data laser is programmed in a way so it could deliver an absolutely personalized vision correction.

The cutting-edge laser technology has allowed doctors to perform LASEK surgery
without harsh methods such as using medication or blades. Laser Fit LASEK is a sole laser or blushing (doctor controlled) performed surgery, characterized by high preciseness and causing less tissue loss of the cornea.

ICL
ICL implantation is an alternative vision correction method for patients with thin cornea and high myopia/astigmatism, as unlike LASEK/LASIK the procedure does not require tissue to be removed from cornea.

Aqua ICL
A clouding of a natural lens in the eye is called a cataract. Usually, cataract starts in patients after age 50, but it can be noticed in younger patients as well, mostly caused by trauma. During cataract surgery the natural lens is removed and artificial intraocular lens is inserted instead of it.
An age-related process caused by the loss of elasticity of the human lens. The lens becomes stiffer as the structural crystallin proteins become misfolded. This increased lens stiffness limits the eye’s ability to adjust its focus for reading or other tasks that require clear vision at near distances.
Monofocal lenses
Multifocal lenses are very similar to glasses with bifocal or progressive lens.
Multifocal IOL is not fixed at one certain distance, instead it helps patients to
see objects at all three distances
Multifocal lenses
With this type of lens, your vision will be in focus at just one distance
– either near, far, or intermediate distance.
Patients may still require to wear reading glasses after surgery.
FAQ
Can I get laser vision correction if I am pregnant or breastfeeding?
Pregnant and breastfeeding women are not advised to undergo laser vision correction, as hormonal changes can cause visual fluctuations. In addition, antibiotics and steroidal eye drops are prescribed after the surgery which may possibly have an effect on lactation. If you are planning a pregnancy, please make sure you allow around 6 months for your cornea and vision to stabilize after the surgery. If you are a breastfeeding mom, please first stop nursing and give your body a month to go back to its stable condition.
Am I a candidate for vision correction?
Age, general health, lens prescription, and the health of your eyes are just a few factors to consider. If you have an eye disease, unstable vision, an uncontrolled systemic disease, or are pregnant and/or nursing, you might not be a candidate for refractive surgery.
What is the follow-up schedule after the vision correction surgery?
SMILE LASIK or LASIK: 1 day after or 1 week after (mandatory), 1 month after (if needed).
LASEK: (post-surgery care is extremely important to prevent corneal opacity): 5 days after (to take off protective lenses), 1 week after, 1 month after, every 1-2 months for 4-6 months (the patient has to use steroid eye drops up to 5-6 months after surgery).
ICL: 1 day after, 3 days after, 1 week after, 1 month after, 3 months after, then regular check-ups every 6 months ~ 1 year.
Will I be able to see right after the procedure?
Most patients notice an immediate improvement of their vision following the procedure. Naturally, you will experience some intermittent blurriness immediately after the procedure, but this usually clears up within a few hours.
Does it hurt?
Most patients experience little to no discomfort during surgery because anesthetic (numbing) drops are administered prior to the procedure. As a result, patients feel only slight pressure while the laser reshapes the cornea.
What if I blink or move my eye during the procedure?
We will use a small speculum to hold your eyelids open during the procedure; so blinking is not a concern. You will focus on a blinking light during the procedure. Uncontrollable movements of the eye are expected, and the advanced lasers used for refractive surgery include an eye tracker, which follows these movements to ensure the accurate delivery of laser pulses.
Are there any side effects?
Patients may experience dry eyes following the procedure, which are remedied through the use of artificial tears. Other common side effects are glares and halos and they typically disappear in 6 months after the procedure but may last up to 1 year. Patients usually experience this discomfort whenever they are exposed to bright lights like street lights or headlights.
