The current price of laser vision correction is 90,000 RSD (in total, for both eyes). However, the price may also depend on the method used, so it is best to confirm it with our doctors after the examination.

In that case there are alternatives, such as implantation of multifocal or intraocular lenses with an extended range of vision. Our doctors will suggest the best option for you.

Pregnant women, breastfeeding women, people under 20 years of age, people with unstable prescription or serious eye/systemic diseases.

Complications after laser vision correction occur in about 1% of cases. They may be mild (transient dryness of the eye) or somewhat more serious (eye infections), but none of them are irresolvable. It is very important to follow all the doctor’s instructions (adhering to the prescribed therapy, hygiene regimen and daily life activities), especially in the early postoperative period.

Laser vision correction cannot eliminate age-related farsightedness (presbyopia). Presbyopic prescription can be permanently corrected with surgery involving the implantation of multifocal intraocular lenses.

PRK and LASIK are the two most commonly used techniques of laser vision correction. Both techniques are safe and painless, and the final outcome is the same. The surgical technique is chosen by the surgeon based on the results obtained during the preoperative examination.

A return to everyday and work activities after laser vision correction is possible as early as 4 to 7 days later, unless this involves heavy physical work (bending, lifting loads, etc.), sports activities, working with animals, working in dirty and dusty conditions, working in environments with large temperature differences, etc.

An improvement in vision is noticeable immediately after the surgery (the so-called “wow effect”), while complete stabilization of vision is expected within a period of several days to several weeks, depending on the technique used for the surgery.

Laser vision correction is a painless procedure performed under local anesthesia administered in the form of eye drops. The procedure takes about 10 minutes.

Before the examination for laser vision correction, contact lens wearers must remove their lenses as follows: soft contact lenses should be removed 7 days before, gas-permeable contact lenses 2 weeks before, and hard contact lenses 1 month before the examination.

On the day of laser vision correction surgery, it is recommended that the patient comes in comfortable, front-opening clothing, without makeup and strong perfumes. It is advisable to come accompanied by another person and to bring protective sunglasses.

Before surgery, it is necessary to perform a very detailed preoperative examination to determine whether the patient is a good candidate for the procedure. The necessary conditions are age between 20 and 45 (50) years, stable prescription in the range from -10.0 to +5.0 diopters, including astigmatism up to +/-5.0, sufficient thickness and quality of the cornea, and completely healthy eyes.

Patients who are not candidates for laser vision correction are advised to undergo surgery with intraocular lens implantation, which also allows painless and rapid achievement of permanently good vision without glasses and/or contact lenses.

It is rare, but a partial “return” of the prescription can occur, more often due to a change in the size of the eye than because of the surgery itself. This involves the return of a small part of the prescription (which usually does not exceed 15% of the preoperative prescription). It can happen mainly in cases of high prescriptions and more often with plus than with minus prescriptions. If the cornea is thick enough, it is possible to perform a retreatment (repeat correction), which we provide free of charge.

Laser vision correction is the most commonly performed elective surgery at the patient’s request, and its popularity is increasing year by year. According to official global statistics, the success rate is over 95%, and the risk of complications is less than 1%, which makes this surgery one of the safest procedures on the human body.

Laser vision correction is a procedure in which beams of laser light are used to remove refractive error, resulting in good vision without glasses and/or contact lenses.

After surgery, it is not possible for cataract to recur in the operated eye. In the first few days, blurred vision may appear after cataract surgery, but these issues disappear spontaneously.

Cataract surgery can remove or reduce an existing prescription. Depending on the type and characteristics of the intraocular lens, it is possible to correct only distance prescription or both distance and near prescription. Cataract surgery can also correct astigmatism.

A few days after cataract surgery, the patient can return to their usual daily activities while using the prescribed therapy. During the first month, heavy physical work, bending, washing the face, working with animals, and working in dirty and dusty conditions are not allowed. Full recovery takes up to one month.

No, cataract surgery is a day surgery procedure, so after receiving postoperative therapy the patient goes home.

Cataract surgery is performed under local anesthesia administered in the form of eye drops (without injections), which makes it painless. Cataract surgery takes about 15 minutes.

The most advanced technique of cataract surgery involves the use of ultrasound to remove the clouded lens in the eye and replace it with an intraocular lens that remains permanently in the eye, taking over the function of the natural lens and providing good vision, as the patient had before the cataract developed.

Cataract cannot be cured with “stronger” glasses, medications or special diet. The only way to cure cataract is surgery with implantation of special intraocular lenses.

Symptoms by which you can recognize cataract include: blurred vision that does not improve even with new, stronger glasses, a whitish pupil, washed-out colors, poorer night vision, sensitivity to light, double vision, etc.

Cataract is clouding of the natural lens in the eye, which leads to reduced visual acuity. The disease has its stages, from initial clouding to temporary blindness that can occur in the final stage of the disease.
