Peter Leu, actor/director
Laser surgery
«For me, the operation was and remains to this day a fascinating event. Even after more than a year I remember every detail. In a way, I experienced the operation almost as a video clip, with animation effects. And the constant information dispensed by the team was very reassuring and gave me complete confidence.»
Angela Zaninetta, Biker
Laser surgery
«I did not want glasses anymore, essentially for practical reasons. The result of the operation was sensational, the surgery itself was short, painless and very interesting. It is amusing to note that Vedis was recommended to me by a colleague at work and that I have already forwarded the recommendation to another colleague, who in turn has already had his eyes lasered at Vedis...»
Kisha, singer
Laser surgery
«It’s been some time since I had my operation, but I recently found out again how good the result is. I had to take an eye test for my driving license. The optician, who knew nothing about my laser surgery treatment, exclaimed : ‘Wow, you have incredibly sharp vision!’»
Marc Senn, Hell’s Angel
Laser surgery
«Looking back, I did only one thing wrong: I should have had my eyes treated by laser surgery long before I did!»
Larissa Burkhard, economist/housewife
Laser surgery
«I decided to have my eyes treated by Femto-LASIK after seeing the feature 'Gesundheits-Sprechstunde' (Health-Consultation) on TV. I was impressed to see how technically straightforward this operation is. It was important for me to have my eyes treated with the latest methods available, but by an experienced surgeon.»
Annette Beutler, bicycle racer
Laser surgery
«It is simply marvelous to wake up in the morning and see clearly right away. No more fiddling around to find one's glasses and I finally don't have to put in my contacts every morning anymore. And on the bike the new visual feeling is simply incredible. As I ride, I can clearly distinguish again the shape of distant buildings and of the mountains.»
Frank Haugwitz, Manager
Laser surgery
«My glasses got on my nerves. Because my two eyes had different visual acuity, I could not even read a book without glasses, not to mention sports. I remember the operation as being very interesting and completely free of complications. Only the ‘eye-fastening’ process was a bit painful, the operation itself was completely painless.»
Stefan Gubser
«Having my eyes lasered by an experienced surgeon of the Vedis eye laser centers has changed my life in a most agreeable and positive way. After the operation, which was absolutely painless and which I experienced as harmless (about 10 minutes per eye), it took about 10 days for my brain and eyes to get used to the new situation. During this adjustment time visual acuity is quite variable, but one should not get worried by this, because after this period one is a new human being! After almost two years I see perfectly well (I have no problem driving at night or in the rain) and I would do it again any time. In this sense it was probably the best step I ever took in my life.»
Stefanie Ledermann
«Since I had my eyes treated by refractive surgery, I feel a new person. To wake up every morning and immediately see everything clearly, that is like a present to me. I enjoy my regained quality of life every day, and especially in sports.»
Siro Barino
«After the astonishingly simple and short operation, I felt liberated. It is a great relief not to constantly fear loosing a contact lens during aquatic and other sports. I have discovered a new liberty – the liberty not even to depend on glasses anymore. I am happy that I decided to take this step. A small step for a man, but a big step for (myopic) mankind.»
Maurus Wildhaber, electric engineer
Laser surgery
«I needed glasses because of a rather strong deformation of the cornea. For practical reasons, I often did not wear them, and this caused headaches and visual troubles. In my job I often work in front of a computer screen. I informed myself via Internet about refractive surgery and after thorough consultations I took the decision to have an operation. A week after the operation I already was on holydays. Now I see well constantly. It facilitates my work enormously and it has given me a new awareness of life.»
Esther Schibig, secretary and housewife
«The outdoors are my passion, whether it is my garden or the country, or sports such as cross-country skiing. After long years with glasses, my optician told me about laser surgery. Suddenly I saw the opportunity for greater freedom, for a life without glasses or contact lenses. Today I enjoy my good vision, without having to think about it. I only regret that this was not available years ago.»
Isabella von Däniken, policewoman
Laser surgery
«I had the feeling right from the beginning that I was in good hands. I was informed thoroughly about the possibilities and foreseeable risks. The operation itself was a short and painless affair. Today, years after my operation, I feel great. My visual acuity is optimal. If I had to take the same decision a second time, I would not hesitate a second to have the operation again.»
Rita Hirzel, enthusiastic golfer
Laser surgery
«I have certainly gained in quality of life. To see well without glasses brings me advantages, especially for sports, but also when I drive, and of course also in every-day life in general. Anybody who wears glasses knows what a nuisance they can be.»
