Why Duisburg for laser eye surgery?
What is Laser Eye Surgery?
Laser eye surgery uses precisely controlled laser energy to reshape the cornea — the clear front surface of the eye — correcting how light is focused onto the retina. Modern techniques like LASIK, SMILE and PRK each take a slightly different approach, but all aim to correct myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism. With more than 25 years of clinical refinement, satisfaction rates above 95% and recoveries measured in hours, it remains the most popular elective vision procedure worldwide.
Techniques used
LASIK
A thin flap is created in the cornea, the underlying tissue is reshaped with an excimer laser, and the flap is replaced. The most widely performed laser vision correction.
SMILE
A femtosecond laser creates a small lenticule inside the cornea, which is removed through a tiny incision. Minimally invasive with fast recovery.
PRK / LASEK
The surface epithelium is removed and the cornea is reshaped directly. Preferred for thin corneas or patients not suitable for LASIK.
TransPRK
An advanced no-touch surface ablation where epithelium removal and correction are performed by the laser in a single step.
Key benefits
- ✓Quick recovery — most patients see clearly within 24 hours
- ✓Painless procedure thanks to numbing eye drops
- ✓Patient satisfaction above 95 %
- ✓Long-lasting, often permanent results
- ✓Whole procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes for both eyes
Who is it for?
Best suited for patients aged 20–45 with a stable prescription for at least one year, healthy corneas of adequate thickness, and no underlying eye conditions like keratoconus or severe dry eye. A comprehensive consultation will confirm whether laser correction is the right option for you.
Recovery
Most patients notice dramatically improved vision within hours. Mild discomfort, light sensitivity and watery eyes are common in the first 24–48 hours. Avoid rubbing your eyes and use prescribed drops diligently. Full visual stabilization typically takes 1–3 months. Most people return to office work within 1–3 days.
!Possible risks
- •Temporary dry eyes (usually resolves within 3–6 months)
- •Halos or glare around lights at night
- •Under- or over-correction (may require enhancement)
- •Flap-related complications (LASIK only, very rare)
- •Slight regression years later in a small percentage of patients

Frequently asked questions
Is laser eye surgery painful?+
No. Numbing eye drops are applied beforehand. You may feel slight pressure during LASIK, but no pain. Some discomfort is normal in the first 24 hours.
How long do the results last?+
For most patients results are permanent. Age-related changes such as presbyopia after 40 are not prevented by laser surgery. A small share of patients may need a touch-up years later.
What is the difference between LASIK and SMILE?+
LASIK creates a corneal flap and reshapes the tissue underneath. SMILE removes a small lenticule from inside the cornea through a 2–4 mm incision — no flap is needed and dry eye is typically less pronounced.
Am I a good candidate?+
Generally you need to be at least 18 (ideally 20+), have a stable prescription for at least one year, healthy corneas of adequate thickness, and not be pregnant or breastfeeding. A consultation will confirm suitability.
Can both eyes be done at once?+
Yes — in the vast majority of cases both eyes are treated in the same session. The full procedure typically takes 15–30 minutes.
