Laser Eye Surgery

Vision strength correction through laser surgery are always easier 30 years ago were a rarity on the eye laser surgery and more considered to be experimental. The technology is now so well developed that even a diopter with a Laseroperationdurchgefuhrt can be. Such a Augenop parts of the cornea are removed, to change the break angle of incident light. The cause of Ametropia is namely because that it is not correct to call the distances between the refractive components of the eye – as the cornea, the lens and the vitreous – to only the most essential. Thus the incoming images are projected behind the retina – much like when a jammed lens in a camera, a blurry image arises as a result? The lens, as focusing share in the eye up to a certain degree this incorrect projection but ausgleichen-your limits, since they only a certain elasticity level in out it does not stretch / shrink and the image will be still out of focus. It will also see unaided also still very tiring for the eyes, because the lens muscles to compensate for the low vision on overdrive should work. Eye surgery using laser technology small parts of the cornea are removed, which refracts the light otherwise on the cornea and the image ends up sharply at the end on the retina. Before such an operation, an additional lens in the system was inserted through the lens, which has the same effect as the operated cornea.

However, the procedure has limits that are currently-10 – + 5 Dioptrin which can be corrected surgically. Regardless of which method is used, the procedure is always very similar: after the election of a renowned eye clinic with high safety and hygiene standard, a preliminary investigation will take place in the clinic. Those who opt for surgery, which should make sure, that in this preliminary study, on the one hand the eye thoroughly investigates because for a successful operation is of a sufficient thickness Corneal necessary, other risk factors such as green and grey star should be cut off. On the other hand, a thorough history should be performed in which other risk factors such as diabetes and autoimmune diseases can be obtained. In addition, a competent doctor will discuss exactly what variant of the available laser operations (E.g. eye lasers with LASIK, LASEK procedures, etc.) for the patient in question and how they will expire exactly. Also the cost issue should be discussed at such a preliminary, because unfortunately the laser surgery of the eye is still not box office performance.

On average, one must reckon with approx. 1000 euros per eye. Despite the high cost of the operation you should not make the mistake to try to find a low-priced foreign clinic because they can compete with a competent German clinic expertise, either in hygiene and safety. A medical malpractice may lead to a parent – or under-correction – but in the worst case also to blindness a risk that saving a few bucks is not worth.
