Targeted treatment of myopia: Modern laser procedures at SmartLaser
Short-sighted people know: Almost nothing works without visual aids. But glasses and contact lenses are not a solution – they are a crutch. They fog up, slip, get in the way during sport or at night.
With laser treatment at SmartLaser, your nearsightedness (myopia) will be permanently corrected—for sharp distance vision and a whole new outlook on life.
One laser treatment—and your everyday life changes completely.
Correcting long-sightedness or astigmatism at the same time
Many people with nearsightedness also have astigmatism or mild farsightedness in one eye.
With SmartLaser, that’s no problem —we correct all vision problems in a single procedure.
Today, combined refractive errors such as myopia and astigmatism can be precisely corrected in a single treatment step.
This saves time and money—and makes glasses or contact lenses a thing of the past.
Life without glasses – even with high myopia
See clearly - always and everywhere
Whether you’re driving, playing sports, at the movies, or at the beach:
Clear distance vision should be a given—and not depend on glasses.
Laser instead of visual aid:
-
Freedom in every situation
-
Full visibility in any weather
-
More safety in road traffic
No more dependence on glasses and contact lenses
No more searching, cleaning, or reordering.
With laser surgery at SmartLaser, you can say goodbye for good to vision aids that limit your daily life.
For active people in particular, life without glasses or contact lenses is a real game changer.
One-off procedure, long-term correction of the visual defect
Laser eye surgery isn’t something you do every day—it’s a one-time decision with long-term results.
The cornea is reshaped to permanently correct your nearsightedness.
-
No readjustment necessary
-
No need to constantly change glasses
-
No running costs as with contact lenses
Laser eye surgery for myopia: How the correction of myopia becomes possible
Myopia occurs when light rays are focused in front of the retina – usually due to the eyeball being too long or the refractive power being too high.
The aim of the laser treatment is to reshape the cornea so that the image appears exactly on the retina again – just like in an eye with normal vision.
SmartLaser offers you three tried-and-tested procedures for this:
Femto-LASIK with 7D tracking is our most modern procedure for myopia - fast, gentle and with minimal downtime. Ideal for medium to high myopia, also in combination with astigmatism.
How it works:
A wafer-thin flap is created with the femtosecond laser and the underlying cornea is precisely ablated - with exact control over the axis, depth and surface.
- Intervention in just a few minutes
- Clear vision after just 24-48 hours
- Hardly any complaints, very high precision
The laser removes the uppermost corneal layer directly - contact-free (“no-touch”), precisely and safely. It then reshapes the underlying cornea - individually adapted to your short-sightedness.
- Non-contact and very compatible
- No risk of flap complications
- Slightly longer healing time - but particularly gentle
It is particularly suitable for special requirements - e.g. for certain professional groups or intolerance to flap-based procedures.
Here, the top layer of cornea is removed manually before the laser performs the desired correction.
- Long proven, medically recognized
- No flap - therefore stable even in contact and high-risk sports
- Longer healing time than with Femto-LASIK - but same quality of vision in the result
Am I suitable for laser eye surgery for myopia?
The good news is that most people with short-sightedness (myopia) are suitable for laser treatment. The decisive factors are your dioptre values, the shape of your cornea and whether your visual defect has remained stable.
Suitable if…
- you are at least 18 years old
- Your Visual acuity stable for at least 12 months is
- No acute eye diseases present
- you are healthy & not pregnant
Diopter limits & forms of myopia
Depending on the procedure, myopia can now be corrected very precisely up to high diopter values.
Standard values for SmartLaser:
- Femto-LASIK: up to approx. -10.0 dpt
- Trans-PRK: up to approx. -8.0 dpt
- PRK: up to approx. -6.0 dpt
Even with simultaneous astigmatism, a combined correction is possible in most cases.
Forms of myopia that we treat:
- Simple myopia (standard form)
- Axis myopia (long eyeball)
- Refractive myopia (excessive refractive power)
- Progressive or high myopia – after individual examination

What is covered by health insurance for the treatment options
Statutory health insurance companies do not generally cover the costs of laser eye surgery for short-sightedness, as it is considered a refractive procedure – i.e. not medically necessary.
However, private supplementary insurance or special class tariffs may offer subsidies or reimbursements– depending on the contract selected.
Our team will be happy to support you with a medical certificate and medical documentation if you need this for your insurer.
