Ophthalmic surgery allows
» For cataracts, the removal of the opaque lens and correction with an artificial lens
» For glaucoma, the intraocular pressure-reduction by surgery
» For many refractive errors, as an alternative to traditional corrections like eye glasses or contact lenses (Excimer-laser)
» Reconstruction of the eyelids after accidents, tumors and for cosmetic reasons
 
Using the Excimer-Laser good corrections are possible
» For myopia up to 10 dioptres
» For hyperopia up to 6 dioptres
» For astigmatism
» For presbyopia in the early to intermediate stages, also in combination with myopia, hyperopia and astigmatism
 
A complete correction cannot be guaranteed, however, for daily needs most patients with incomplete correction have sufficient vision and don’t need any supplementary correction.
