Quite simple
Your treatment in four steps
Your laser eye treatment at EuroEyes Basel takes place in four simple steps.
1. Eye check
First, we examine in about 45 minutes whether your eyes meet the requirements for a laser eye or lens treatment. We measure your visual acuity, cornea, and your current glasses or contact lenses. The examination is free of charge and without obligation.
2. Main examination
During the detailed main analysis (45–60 minutes), we carry out comprehensive measurements to individually determine the most suitable procedure for you (e.g. Femto-LASIK, SMILE Pro).
3. Treatment
The laser or lens treatment is performed under local anaesthesia and takes only a few minutes per eye. To ensure the process is as relaxed as possible, it is best to allow yourself some extra time for this appointment.
4. Follow-up examination
The first check-up takes place 1–5 days after the procedure, depending on the method. We monitor the healing process and ensure that your eyes are on the right track to achieving optimal vision.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Here you will find the most important questions and answers about laser eye and lens treatments at EuroEyes.
If you have further questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact us.
Why choose EuroEyes for my laser eye or lens treatment?
For over 30 years, EuroEyes has stood for the highest medical expertise and operates renowned eye clinics in London, Copenhagen, Berlin, Frankfurt, Munich, Hamburg, Hong Kong and Shanghai. EuroEyes is among the world’s leading providers in refractive laser eye surgery, the treatment of presbyopia, as well as modern procedures for cataract correction. Medical responsibility at EuroEyes lies with two internationally recognised experts: Dr. Jørn Jørgensen and Professor Dan Reinstein. Both are among the most experienced specialists in refractive surgery and have played a key role in its development.
Is a laser eye or lens treatment painful?
Before a laser eye or lens treatment, your eyes are numbed with special eye drops so that you do not feel any pain during the procedure. EuroEyes primarily uses the most advanced laser methods such as SMILE Pro or PRESBYOND, where the healing process is usually painless.
Can laser eye treatment cause blindness?
No, blindness from laser eye treatment is extremely unlikely. This is mainly because the laser works exclusively on the outermost layer of the eye – the cornea. Structures such as the optic nerve remain completely unaffected by the procedure.
In addition, modern safety systems such as the so-called eye tracker ensure that the laser follows even the smallest eye movements.
As with any medical procedure, complications such as infections can occur in very rare cases – however, these are treatable and occur only extremely rarely.
Can I do without glasses or contact lenses after the treatment?
Most patients are able to do without glasses or contact lenses after a laser eye or lens treatment. If a residual refractive error remains after the procedure, it can usually be corrected with a second treatment.
Which laser eye method is suitable for me?
Which laser eye method is suitable for you depends on various factors and is determined during an individual consultation at a EuroEyes location near you. Key criteria for choosing the right method include your age and your visual acuity.
Which age group is suitable for laser eye treatment?
In principle, around 98% of people between the ages of 18 and 45 are suitable for laser eye treatment. For those over 45, laser correction may still be possible in certain cases. However, from this age, lens exchange is usually the preferred option. We also offer this. Which treatment method is actually suitable for you will be clarified and discussed in detail during our free and non-binding examinations.
