Types of Refractive Errors
We perceive more than 90% of all sensations through our eyes, making them one of the most crucial sensory organs. When the cornea, lens, retina, and the length of the eyeball are precisely aligned, a clear image is formed on the retina.
By adjusting the eye’s lens, objects come into sharp focus at different distances.
However, many people in Greece suffer from refractive errors. While their eyes may be healthy from a medical perspective, various components of the optical system are not correctly aligned. Optimal visual acuity cannot be achieved due to this ‘design flaw.
Myopia
In myopia, the eye is larger than normal, resulting in an increased distance between the cornea and the retina. As a result, light rays from distant objects focus in front of the retina, causing them to appear blurred.
Hyperopia
In hyperopia, the cornea is usually flatter, and the eye is smaller than normal, resulting in a decreased distance between the cornea and the retina. In this case, light rays theoretically focus behind the retina, causing distant objects to appear clear while near objects appear blurred.
Astigmatism
In astigmatism, the cornea doesn’t have a perfectly spherical shape but is often elliptical. This leads to both near and distant objects appearing distorted in certain directions.
Presbyopia
From around the age of 45, everyone develops presbyopia due to a natural progressive loss of elasticity in the crystalline lens. Presbyopia manifests subtly, with small letters becoming blurred at close distances. Eventually, reading materials can only be read with reading glasses.
What is Laser Eye Surgery?
LASIK is a type of eye surgery used to correct myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. The LASIK procedure is performed by an eye surgeon who uses a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye to improve visual acuity. For most people, LASIK provides a long-term alternative to glasses or contact lenses.
The LASIK technique is a revolutionary method for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and/or astigmatism. It’s a laser eye surgery that painlessly reshapes the cornea in just a few minutes, providing optimal vision.
LaserVision is the first Ophthalmology Center in Southeastern Europe
to utilize the innovative VisuMax laser system for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and/or astigmatism.
VisuMax® femtosecond laser
The next generation of LASIK procedures!
LaserVision is the first Ophthalmology Center in Southeastern Europe to utilize the innovative VisuMax laser system for the correction of myopia, hyperopia, and/or astigmatism.
VisuMax uses high-performance femtosecond laser technology, the first system to perform a minimally invasive procedure.
- Exceptionally precise results due to the reliable cutting process.
- Significant reduction in eye pressure sensation during the procedure.
- Requires over 5 times less energy compared to other femtosecond lasers, making it ideal for treating the sensitive corneal tissue.
- Shorter procedure times due to exceptional speed.
- Gentle treatment approach.
- Wide range of applications with the femtosecond laser.
- Designed with a focus on the patient’s experience.
The Procedure
1st Step:
A comprehensive eye examination is conducted to assess the candidate’s suitability for the procedure and determine the appropriate method to be followed.
2nd Step:
A preoperative assessment is performed, including all personalized measurements, lasting approximately 2 hours.
3rd Step:
The candidate for correction prepares for the surgery, which takes only 4-5 minutes per eye.
4th Step:
Reassessment the next day, one week after, and within the next three months to ensure a smooth recovery.
Treatment methods
1
Smile® PRO
Our cutting-edge technology
For over 10 years, the “ReLEx® SMILE” method has stood for a safe and painless laser procedure with no flap. SMILE® pro is the state-of-the-art form of laser eye treatment, making the well-established SMILE procedure (SMILE® stands for Small Incision Lenticule Extraction) even faster, more precise and safer. Smart robot assistance facilitates centering and alignment and compensate for small eye rotations during astigmatism correction.
Rotatable laser and surgical microscope arms make room for the surgeon to work and for the patient to relax. As before, a minimally invasive incision of only about two millimeters is sufficient to easily remove the lenticle. Since there is no need to create a large flap in the cornea as in Femto-Lasik, the cornea’s stability is better preserved, post-op “dry eyes” are significantly reduced, and flap-related complications are eliminated.
The SMILE® pro laser method is also suitable for patients with higher refractive errors, thin corneas or a tendency to “dry eyes”.

Femto - Lasik
Established procedure
The high-precision Femto- LASIK is the second generation of laser eye treatment and a further development of the proven LASIK method. While a scalpel is used to remove the superficial cornea in conventional LASIK, in Femto-LASIK, a high-precision femtosecond laser is used. It prepares the corneal flap precisely and gently before the flap can be opened.
Depending on the refractive error, an excimer laser is used to remove the corneal tissue.
After the treatment, the flap is folded back and serves as a natural wound dressing. The cornea stabilizes to its original stability within one week.
The femtosecond laser is used to prepare the cornea.

PRK
For special requirements
The PRK method is suitable for patients with relatively thin corneas. It is the first generation of laser eye surgery and offers an alternative for patients for whom Femto-LASIK or the SMILE® pro procedures are not an option. As PRK does not involve an incision in the cornea, it has little impact on stability.

Basic requirements
for assessing the suitability of the eye for laser surgery:
Each candidate should have reached the age of 18.
There should be stable vision and refraction for 1 year.
There should be no other ophthalmic problems.
Laser eye surgery is suitable for most individuals over the age of 18. Ideally, your eyeglass or contact lens prescription should have remained relatively stable for about 1 year.
If your glasses or contact lenses are causing discomfort or if you need to be free from them for work or sports-related reasons, you can contact us directly to determine if you are a candidate for laser eye surgery.

Eye Procedure Cost
For us, it is an absolute duty not only to provide an individual assessment for each candidate for possible laser myopia correction but also to perform a complete general eye examination along with a thorough preoperative examination, using the most cutting-edge imaging technology equipment, in order to determine the most suitable method. The cost of laser correction depends on which method(s) will be proposed, always with the utmost safety and optimal results in mind.
At LaserVision, you can be sure that you are being taken care of by a scientific team of the most experienced and pioneering professionals in this field, and that the technology we use is among the most advanced in Greece.
