How many eyes do you operate per year? How old is you laser? These questions are justified, but do not tell much about the real safety standards of the treatments as applied in a given clinical center.

Sight defects have been corrected surgically for a number of years. The first developments of implantation surgery go back to the late forties, the origins of the treatment by laser to the sixties. The LASIK method is used since 1991. Since this date, millions of people worldwide have put their trust into this method. It can be said to be today a perfectly well-established ophthalmologic procedure.

With the procedures applied today in the realm of refractive surgery, the risks are generally extremely limited. It is true that serous complications have been reported in the scientific literature, but they were extremely rare. However, one should never forget that any interference with the human body includes a certain risk – even if it is very low – and that a procedure may not be suitable for anybody. This is why we perform a very detailed examination to find out if your eyes can be submitted to refractive surgery.
