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.

• 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
