In short sightedness (myopia), the eyeball is too long and the focus is in front of the retina. In long sightedness (hypermetropia), the focus is behind the retina. You can correct these defects of vision by bending the beams of light and focusing them on the retina. This may be achieved conservatively with glasses or contact lenses. For patients who want to eliminate their dependence on glasses or cannot tolerate contact lenses, this may be possible with a refractive surgery in certain cases. The operation involves inserting an intraocular lens (IOL) into the eye, which replaces the glasses permanently. There are many different types of operations and lenses (clear lens extraction, iris claw lens etc.). If you want to eliminate glasses, we will examine your eyes and take precise measurements at our clinic. As we have the latest technology at our disposal, we can offer you the best possible option for your eyes. When you come to our practice, we will give you further details and information, because there are large differences between individuals. Even after surgery, wearing glasses or contact lenses can improve vision still further.

No-one can guarantee to end reliance on glasses 100% for all distances, because the human body is not a machine and various factors can influence the outcome. These operations aim to eliminate glasses for a variety of activities to improve quality of life.
