In our ophthalmology practice, we rely on innovative technologies to provide you with gentle and effective treatment right on site – completely without surgical intervention. Our new YAG and SLT laser devices open up the latest possibilities in ophthalmology.

YAG laser treatment – capsulotomy for posterior capsule opacification

After cataract surgery, there may be clouding of the posterior lens capsule – known as posterior capsule opacification. The YAG laser capsulotomy is a quick, painless procedure in which the cloudy capsule is opened with a laser. Vision usually improves immediately.

Cost coverage: This treatment is covered by basic insurance.

SLT laser – selective laser trabeculoplasty for glaucoma

The SLT laser lowers intraocular pressure in open-angle glaucomas. By targeted impulses, the natural drainage system of the aqueous humor is activated – an effective, low-side-effect, and repeatable method that can complement or replace medications.

Cost coverage: This treatment is fully covered by basic insurance.

YAG iridotomy – for angle-closure glaucoma

To prevent or treat angle-closure glaucoma, an iridotomy may be necessary. A tiny opening is made in the iris with the YAG laser to improve aqueous humor drainage and prevent pressure spikes.

Cost coverage: This treatment is fully covered by basic insurance.

Vitreolysis – treatment of vitreous opacities („floaters“)

Many people suffer from bothersome vitreous opacities that impair vision. Vitreolysis with the YAG laser specifically treats these opacities – without surgery. The number of necessary sessions depends on the type and location of the opacities.

Cost coverage: This treatment is not covered by basic insurance. Private cost coverage is required.
