Vision correction

It starts with your eyes, not a price

Not everyone is suited to laser surgery, and the right method depends on your eyes. The clinic examines them in detail first, then recommends a laser method or a lens implant, or tells you if none of them suits you.

  • ICL lens implants and presbyopia correction

Questions

Eye Care questions

Only an eye exam can tell. The clinic measures your eyes before surgery and tells you which method, if any, suits you.

LASIK reshapes the cornea under a thin flap and is known for fast visual recovery. LASEK treats the surface without a flap and is often chosen for thinner corneas. SMILE works through a small incision without a flap, and SMILE Pro uses a faster laser for a shorter treatment.

Per eye. The price depends on the lens you choose with the doctor, so the offer shows a starting price.

Plan a few extra days for follow-up checks. The clinic tells you how long to stay before you fly.

Yes. A comprehensive eye exam takes about one to two hours, and you can book it on its own.
