Our laser treatments at a glance

When is YAG laser treatment necessary?

After cataract surgery, clouding of the posterior lens capsule may develop in some patients. This so-called secondary cataract can lead to renewed deterioration of vision.

  • Painless, outpatient laser treatment
  • Removal of the clouded posterior lens capsule within minutes
  • Immediate improvement in visual quality

How does SLT help in glaucoma?

The selective laser stimulates the eye’s drainage channels to lower intraocular pressure – a proven alternative or adjunct to eye drops.

  • Minimally invasive method to reduce intraocular pressure
  • No surgical procedure required
  • No scarring, painless procedure
  • Can be repeated multiple times

What is the purpose of iridotomy?

In angle-closure glaucoma, the natural outflow of aqueous humour may be blocked. A small laser procedure creates an opening in the iris to normalise intraocular pressure.

  • Often required to prevent an acute glaucoma attack
  • Quick and painless procedure performed in just a few minutes
  • Prevents renewed narrowing of the anterior chamber angle

When is retinal laser therapy required?

In diabetic retinopathy or retinal vascular occlusions, abnormal new blood vessel growth or fluid accumulation may occur. Targeted laser therapy stabilises the retina and helps prevent serious complications.

  • Used in diabetic retinopathy and retinal vascular occlusions
  • Reduces abnormal vessel growth and helps stabilise vision
  • In many cases, helps prevent further progression of the disease
  • Does not replace injections but serves as an adjunctive therapy

Frequently asked questions

Generally not. During retinal laser therapy, individual laser pulses may occasionally be perceived as a brief sting. We always strive to make the treatment as comfortable as possible.

Depending on the type of laser therapy, recovery usually takes a few days.

This depends on the procedure. While YAG laser treatment for secondary cataract is permanent, glaucoma laser therapy may need to be repeated after several years.

Many laser treatments are covered by health insurance if they are medically indicated. We are happy to advise you individually.

Our laser therapies are primarily used to treat eye diseases such as secondary cataract, glaucoma and retinal conditions. If you are interested in vision correction without glasses, we are happy to advise you on alternative options such as refractive laser surgery.
