RLE (refractive lens exchange) or CLE (clear lens extraction), or refractive lens exchange, involves removing the patient’s own lens and replacing it with a technologically advanced artificial lens to correct the visual impairment. Such treatment is recommended for patients with severe farsightedness, presbyopia and astigmatism, and in some cases myopia. CLE (clear lens extraction), as the name implies, is a procedure to replace an unclouded lens with an artificial one. The premium implants enable glasses-free vision for both near and far. Individual fitting of the implant, discussion of the procedure and vision according to the individual calculation will be discussed during the qualification examination. The procedure performed with a femtosecond laser increases the precision of the procedure and its anatomical accuracy. At SwissLaser, we use the ZIEMER Z8 low-energy femtosecond laser.
Many patients seeking an alternative to wearing glasses or contact lenses hear in ophthalmologists’ offices that they do not qualify for laser vision correction surgery. However, this diagnosis does not close the way to a phakic lens implantation – a special artificial flexible lens, implanted between the iris and the natural lens.Phakic lens implantation is a solution addressed primarily to patients with high myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism.
PresbyMAX (bi-aspheric multifocal corneal ablation) is the most individualized profile of laser vision correction for presbyopia with co-occurring visual defects (ranging from – 7.0 diopters to +3 diopters and up to 4.0 cylinders) or without these defects that we can currently offer a patient. PresbyMax is the least invasive method and results in the fewest possible complications.
In the modern FEMTO-LASIK method, the cornea is opened with a high-precision femtosecond laser. The operation of the laser is computer-controlled, the surgeon also has a microscope at his disposal, which guarantees maximum precision and selection of the diameter thickness of the separated corneal flap.
The flap is raised on a “hinge” so as to allow the cornea to undergo modeling with the excimer laser.
SmartSight is a state-of-the-art femtosecond laser treatment belonging to the so-called “SmartSight”. free (without flap) methods. They rely on the fact that inside the intact cornea is created a so-called “corneal”. lenticula (a microlens created from a thin section of the cornea). A minimally invasive incision is then made for the approach. The intraocular lens can then be removed through this small opening. It is also possible to use the so-called. Static cyclorotation compensation. The SMARTSIGHT procedure cannot be performed for medical reasons on the same day as the preoperative examination
The Trans-PRK smart Surface method is the only non-contact laser vision correction method. Trans-PRK’s state-of-the-art capabilities helped optimize the procedure at the most important point. However, this applies almost exclusively to patients with myopia or astigmatism. If hyperopia is present, Trans-PRK treatment can be performed successfully only if the dioptric number is relatively low. Smart Surface is an original technology offered by Schwind Eye-Tech-Solutions.
Photorefractive keratectomy (PRK for short) is a surgical procedure that has been performed since 1987, and is considered one of the older methods of refractive laser surgery. The procedure itself involves removing the upper cellular layer of the cornea (epithelium) and then properly reshaping the underlying corneal tissue using an excimer laser. The treatments are effective and safe, and above all, they guarantee patients a significant improvement in vision.
Superficial vision correction method performed without chemicals, epithelium is removed with Epi/Clear tool , recommended for people with thin corneas and at risk of eye injuries
