For the first time in the region - laser lens surgery! Since few months new generation was heralded in the Eye Clinic Lohr with the new femtosecond laser, which is also referred to in the specialist press as a revolution in ophthalmology. This underscores the clinic's leading position in laser technologies, which only few centers in Germany can boast. In this case, it is the most modern treatment of cataracts, age-related clouding of the eye lens or the lens exchange.
The replacement of the natural lens of the eye with an artificial lens, also called cataract surgery, is one of the standard operations in ophthalmic surgery. Mostly older patients are diagnosed. They experience cataracts as a gradual reduction in vision.
Every year, more than 700,000 of those affected in Germany help with eye surgery. The outpatient procedure replaces the clouded lens with an artificial lens implant. The Lohrer's eye surgeons perform approximately 5,000 cataract operations annually.
Another femtosecond laser has been used for 10 years in Lohr for refractive corneal surgery - Femto-LASIK. Whether astigmatism, short or long-sightedness: The eye laser treatment takes place within a few minutes. With Femto-LASIK, the clinic offers the safest laser surgery and guarantees a fast and pain-free healing phase.
