What is Femto-LASIK?
Femto-LASIK is a modern and highly precise laser eye method used to correct short-sightedness, long-sightedness, and astigmatism. The cornea is gently reshaped with a laser so that light is focused optimally onto the retina again. The result is permanently sharp vision without glasses or contact lenses. Ideal for people between 18 and 38 years of age.

What makes this laser eye method special?
With Femto-LASIK, the cornea is treated completely without mechanical instruments and exclusively using laser technology. The procedure is especially gentle, safe, and individually tailored to each patient’s eyes. It offers fast healing, excellent visual results, and a new sense of freedom shortly after the treatment.
Is Femto-LASIK right for me?
This method is particularly suitable for people between 18 and 38 years of age who wish to live without glasses or contact lenses. Femto-LASIK is ideal for those with stable short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism. Whether this treatment is right for you will be determined through a detailed eye analysis and a personal consultation with our experts.

How does Femto-LASIK work?
In Femto-LASIK, a femtosecond laser is first used to prepare an ultra-thin layer in the cornea. Then, a second laser reshapes the underlying corneal tissue so that light is optimally focused onto the retina. The procedure takes only a few minutes, is virtually painless, and quickly provides permanently clear vision.
The advantages of Femto-LASIK
100% vision in the shortest time
Treatment with Femto-LASIK enables improved vision in the shortest possible time: most patients achieve nearly full visual acuity as early as the next day.
Treatment in just 15 minutes
The laser works on the eye for only a few seconds, so the actual treatment takes less than 15 minutes – quick and painless.
Completely painless
Before the procedure, your eyes are numbed with eye drops. You will not feel any pain during the treatment itself or throughout the healing process.
Safe and precise
The treatment with the laser is contact-free, providing maximum safety and precision. If the eye moves, the device immediately and automatically stops.
Ready for action the next day
Femto-LASIK allows for rapid healing. Most patients can return to work and drive a car as early as the next day.

Frequently asked questions
Here you will find the most important questions and answers about laser eye and lens treatments at EuroEyes. If you have any further questions or need additional information, please feel free to contact us.
What is the difference between Femto-LASIK and LASIK?
Femto-LASIK is an advancement of LASIK. While LASIK creates the so-called flap in the cornea with a blade, Femto-LASIK uses a highly precise femtosecond laser for this step. With Femto-LASIK, the cornea is therefore treated exclusively with the laser and completely touch-free.
What side effects can occur after the treatment?
A Femto-LASIK treatment is quick and painless. However, temporary side effects may occur after the procedure: slightly blurred vision is quite normal, and any feeling of dryness is treated with eye drops prescribed by us.
What are the limitations of Femto-LASIK?
A laser eye treatment with Femto-LASIK is extremely safe and has a very low risk of complications, but it is not suitable for everyone. For example, if your cornea is too thin or you suffer from very dry eyes, this method may not be an option for you. An alternative procedure could then be a lens implantation.
How long do the results of Femto-LASIK last?
The results of a Femto-LASIK treatment are permanent and last a lifetime. However, the treatment does not protect against presbyopia, where the elasticity of the lens decreases with age, typically from the age of 45. Presbyopia can be corrected with visual aids or, alternatively, permanently with a refractive lens exchange.
How long does recovery take after Femto-LASIK?
Most patients are able to work and drive again the very next day. With Femto-LASIK, the uppermost layer of the cornea is not removed but a small flap is created and temporarily folded aside – this so-called flap naturally reattaches itself after the treatment. Recovery is therefore quick, and many achieve almost 100% vision as early as the next day.
Is the Femto-LASIK method really painless?
A laser eye treatment with Femto-LASIK does not cause pain. Before the procedure, your eyes are numbed with eye drops. The laser creates a small flap in the uppermost layer of the cornea, which is then folded aside. The now exposed corneal layer is corrected with the laser. The flap then reattaches itself naturally, allowing the eyes to heal quickly and usually without pain.
How much does a Femto-LASIK treatment cost?
The cost of a Femto-LASIK treatment varies depending on the provider. At EuroEyes, the treatment costs CHF 1,890 per eye. Unlike most other providers, this price is all-inclusive, so there are no unexpected additional costs. Payment in instalments is also possible.
What are the most common risks of laser eye treatment?
Laser eye surgery is a very safe way to correct refractive errors, but like any medical procedure, it also carries some risks. The most common include:
Dry eyes
Fluctuations in vision
Overcorrection or undercorrection
Infections
Regression
In most cases, the complications described can be corrected with follow-up treatment.
