Remote assessment
We review your records and arrange a second opinion from a specialist professor.
Ophthalmology
Vision correction, cataract surgery and treatment of glaucoma, the retina and the cornea, with ophthalmologists at Swiss clinics, for adults and children.
About the specialty
Clear vision within 1–2 days
Diagnostics rely on optical coherence tomography, ultrasound and MRI, revealing changes in the retina and optic nerve long before the patient notices any decline.
Laser vision correction and cataract surgery are performed with femtosecond lasers, with implantation of premium multifocal and toric lenses. After Femto-LASIK, a noticeable improvement comes as early as the next day; full recovery takes from a few days to a week.
The clinic is chosen according to the diagnosis: complex retinal cases, glaucoma and paediatric ophthalmology each call for different centres and equipment.

Why choose Switzerland for eye treatment?
Swiss ophthalmology is regarded as a benchmark in restoring vision. Patients from around the world place their trust in it thanks to a distinctive combination of factors:
- World-class diagnostic precision: advanced systems such as optical coherence tomography (OCT), ultrasound and MRI detect conditions at the earliest stage and allow a precise treatment plan.
- Innovative treatment: access to the latest technology, including femtosecond laser correction (Femto-LASIK), implantation of premium intraocular lenses (IOL) and minimally invasive retinal surgery.
- Internationally recognised specialists: Swiss ophthalmologists have many years of experience, lead scientific research and help shape international medicine.
- Safety and minimal risk: rigorous sterility protocols and the use of robotics minimise the risk of complications and shorten recovery.
