Which refractive errors are treated with laser in Karlsruhe?
At Bányai Neue Augen in Karlsruhe, various refractive errors are treated using state-of-the-art laser technology. Our precise and safe treatment methods ensure excellent results and help improve your quality of life.
Laser treatment for short-sightedness
“I see blurry in the distance.”
A laser treatment for short-sightedness allows you to see both far and near clearly again. Laser eye surgery corrects the eye’s excessive refractive power.
Laser treatment for long-sightedness
“I see blurry nearby.”
With an eye laser treatment for long-sightedness, you can avoid wearing glasses or contact lenses. You will also be able to see clearly at close range again.
Corneal curvature correction with laser
“I see everything slightly distorted.”
An eye laser method for corneal curvature corrects the cornea. The cornea then functions as it should.
Laser treatment for presbyopia
“I am increasingly seeing worse.”
An eye laser method for presbyopia corrects the eye’s refractive power. The eye can again see both near and distant objects clearly without the need for reading glasses.

When are you suitable for laser eye treatment in Karlsruhe?

SMILE Pro® Hyperop in Karlsruhe
The SMILE PRO® Hyperop procedure is one of the most modern laser eye treatment techniques we offer in Karlsruhe. This advanced method provides a gentle and quick solution for visual impairments, as the actual laser application takes only about 10 seconds.
Unlike traditional procedures, SMILE PRO® Hyperop does not require a large corneal flap. A minimal incision of only 2 to 3 mm is sufficient, preserving corneal stability and minimising the risk of dry eyes.
Because of the short treatment time, patients experience a rapid recovery. Our Eye Laser Centre in Karlsruhe uses SMILE PRO® Hyperop to correct myopia up to -10 dpt and corneal curvature up to 5 dpt. The laser correction is performed on an outpatient basis, and many patients are pleasantly surprised by the speed and painlessness of the procedure.
In the SMILE PRO® Hyperop procedure with the VisuMax 800® femtosecond laser from ZEISS, the majority of the upper corneal layer remains untouched, making this method an ideal alternative to techniques such as Femto-LASIK.
LASIK Karlsruhe – LASIK eye laser treatment
Our Eye Laser Centre in Karlsruhe offers the state-of-the-art Femto-LASIK method, a further development of traditional LASIK. This technique uses only lasers and completely avoids mechanical cuts, resulting in a gentle correction of vision.
Our goal is to provide patients with comprehensive advice and optimal care to answer all questions about LASIK and laser eye surgery. The LASIK method has proven itself since the 1990s and has been used successfully over 40 million times worldwide. Precise reshaping of the cornea corrects vision defects, enabling sharp vision without glasses or contact lenses and significantly improving quality of life.
One advantage of Femto-LASIK is the short treatment time, allowing the procedure to be performed on an outpatient basis under local anaesthesia. This method is particularly suitable for treating:
Long-sightedness up to +4 diopters
Corneal curvatures up to about 6 diopters
Moderate short-sightedness up to -10 diopters


Laser treatment for long-sightedness in Karlsruhe – a lasting solution
Do you suffer from long-sightedness (hyperopia)? With this refractive error, the eyeball is too short, which reduces visual acuity at close range and can significantly affect daily life.
In Karlsruhe, we offer innovative laser surgeries to correct long-sightedness. Our practice also specialises in techniques such as ICL lens implantation and the PRESBYOND® procedure, which is particularly used for presbyopia.
Laser treatment for short-sightedness in Karlsruhe – regain your vision
Have your myopia treated in Karlsruhe. Short-sightedness (myopia) is caused by an eyeball that is too long, resulting in a blurred image in the distance. This refractive error can only be corrected by glasses or contact lenses while they are worn.
Aiming for a lasting solution, we offer laser eye surgery for myopia at our centre in Karlsruhe. Thanks to modern procedures such as the SMILE PRO® Hyperop method and Femto-LASIK, we achieve precise results. We also offer ICL lens implantation to best meet the individual needs of our patients.
