Frequently Asked Questions

At EASYLASER, we make refractive surgery accessible, safe and effective. Our approach is based on:

• Comprehensive medical expertise: highly qualified ophthalmologists, optometrists and technicians.
• Optimal surgical conditions: controlled environment for maximum laser precision.
• Cutting-edge technologies: including the SCHWIND AMARIS 1050RS laser for fast and personalized correction.
• 100% laser and contact-free technique: the Trans-PKR SmartSurface, gentle, precise and without incision.
• Quality certifications: covering every step of the patient journey, for enhanced safety.

We support you at every step, from the first appointment to post-operative follow-up.

EASYLASER has four clinics located in Switzerland: in Lausanne, Geneva, Yverdon and Mendrisio.

Initial consultations as well as post-operative appointments can be performed at any clinic of your choice, depending on your location and preferences.

Laser surgery, however, is performed only in Lausanne and Mendrisio, where our fully equipped operating theaters are located.

Generally, surgery is scheduled on a Monday, and removal of therapeutic contact lenses takes place the following Friday. Times may vary depending on availability, but our team will always do their best to adapt to your schedule and facilitate your organization.

We effectively treat the following vision defects:

• Myopia: correction possible up to –10 diopters
• Hyperopia: up to +4 diopters
• Astigmatism: up to 5D
• Presbyopia: a suitable solution will be proposed to each patient

EASYLASER offers you the Trans-PKR SmartSurface technique: an innovation in refractive surgery. Unlike traditional methods (LASIK, Femto-LASIK, SMILE), it requires neither cutting nor direct contact with the eye.

Key advantages:

• 100% laser operation, contact-free
• Short treatment duration: between 20 and 30 seconds
• Eye-tracker 7D: the laser precisely follows eye movements in real time
• No corneal flap creation: therefore fewer post-operative complications and increased corneal stability
• Less prolonged dry eye
• Competitive prices for cutting-edge technology

The first consultation is free and without obligation. It includes:

• A complete vision assessment
• An in-depth discussion with our specialists to determine the most suitable treatment
• Provision of informed consent summarizing all aspects of the procedure

Eligibility criteria include:

• Minimum age of 18 years
• Stable vision for 12 months
• Sufficient corneal thickness for the planned correction
• Absence of contraindicated ocular pathologies: keratoconus, ocular herpes, corneal dystrophy, etc.

Due to hormonal variations that can affect vision, it is recommended to wait three months after childbirth or the end of breastfeeding.

Unstable diabetes can impair visual stability and healing. In case of well-controlled diabetes, correction is possible after thorough evaluation.

• Arrival at the agreed time at the clinic
• Reading and signing of the consent form
• The procedure itself is quick, but plan about 45 minutes on site
• Opportunity to ask all your questions before the surgical procedure

No. The treatment is completely painless, thanks to the use of anesthetic drops and the absence of mechanical contact. However, it is perfectly normal to feel discomfort during the 48 hours following the procedure.

Although rare, complications may include:

• Slight temporary loss of visual acuity
• Temporary dry eye
• Light sensitivity

For transparency, all possible complications — although rare — are clearly specified in the informed consent provided before the procedure.

• Rest in the days following the procedure
• Do not rub your eyes, especially while the therapeutic contact lens is in place
• Avoid intense physical activities for two weeks
• UV protection essential: wearing sunglasses with suitable filter for 1 year

Driving is generally possible from 7 days after the procedure. An assessment of your visual acuity will be performed during follow-up visits.

• Non-contact sports: after 2 weeks
• Contact sports: wait at least 1 month

Our patients declare themselves very satisfied with the results obtained. In the vast majority of cases, the final vision closely approaches the set objective, with a residual correction generally less than ±0.50 diopters. This allows almost complete autonomy without glasses in daily life.

Yes, in 3 to 4% of cases. A touch-up can be considered after 3 to 6 months, once the cornea is completely stabilized.

What the guarantee covers:
• Free touch-up, if medically indicated
• Regular follow-up of your vision for 1 year included
• Extension up to 5 years if you perform an annual check-up (at your expense)

What the guarantee does not cover:
• Visual disorders related to external pathologies (cataract, trauma, AMD…)

Between CHF 1800.– and CHF 3000.– depending on your visual defect and the chosen technology.

This price includes:
• Complete pre-operative examination
• Laser procedure
• Post-operative follow-up for 12 months
• Touch-up if necessary
• 5-year guarantee subject to regular check-ups

Refractive surgery is considered non-medical (comfort) and not reimbursed by basic insurance.
However, some supplementary insurance partially covers the cost. A personalized quote is provided to you during the first consultation.
