Everything here (even the coffee) is optimised with Swiss precision.
The right clinic is not too cheap, too “chain” or too costly. The right clinic is precisely right.
With our Swiss method for vision correction; there’s no room for disappointment.
95.89% to be precise (we’re Swiss. We measure everything). But don’t take our word for it…
The entire team is friendly, competent and very well organized. My quality of life without lenses and glassed has increased significantly. I would do it again and definitely recommend it.
I have been seeing PERFECT since then and am extremely satisfied with the result. Highly recommended and personally regret not having done it earlier. A completely different attitude towards life of not having to wear glasses anymore.
Even after the operation, I had no pain or other impairments. The entire team is extremely friendly and helpful. Since I am completely satisfied with the result, I can only recommend EyeLaser.
I was able to see very well 4 hours after the procedure. I was a little light-sensitive for a few days, which I was made aware of in advance. I am very pleased. The only annoying thing is that I didn’t do it earlier.
