Visual
defects have been corrected by surgery for many years. The first implantations
of artificial lenses were already performed in the forties. The development
of the laser techniques goes back to the sixties, the LASIK method is
applied since 1991, Femto-Lasik since 2003. Millions of patients throughout
the world put their trust in these methods. Today they are well established
treatments of ophthalmology.
With the procedures used today in refractive surgery the risks are extremely
limited. Although the specialized literature mentions complications, these
are extremely rare. We thoroughly discuss the individual risk each patient
may incur during our preliminary examinations.
Using the most modern devices for the examination, we establish an exact
optometric and medical picture that allows us to determine the nature
of your visual defect, the characteristics of your eyes and to ascertain
if and under what conditions it will be possible to perform a surgical
treatment in your case. The results of these determinations will also
serve as a basis for a later treatment in our eye center. Dr. Aus der
Au and his team will discuss with you the most appropriate treatment in
your case as soon as the results of the examination have been evaluated.
But they will also take the time necessary to answer all your questions
and queries. And you will be informed on the exact course of the treatment
and of the risks implied and will be provided with detailed information
(informed consent form, data sheet on the precautions to take and rules
to follow after an operation, etc.).
