A life without glasses or contact lenses
Are you dreaming of a life without glasses or contact lenses? Are you fed up with forgetting your glasses, with fogged-up glasses or contact lenses that dry out your eyes? Treatments that enable you to live, work, play, swim, run, etc. without glasses or lenses are possible as of age 18. Since many years, our eye centre is specialised in treatments to replace glasses and lenses. Moreover, we have access to the most advanced equipment to guarantee a successful treatment. Together, we evaluate what is possible for you.
Treatments for a life without glasses or contact lenses
Laser treatments are the best-known form of treatment to get rid of your glasses or contact lenses. Yet an extra lens implant or, if you are a bit older, a lens replacement are procedures we have been carrying out for years to the great satisfaction of our patients.
Laser treatments
From age 18 to 45
Are you under 45 and would you like sharper vision without having to depend on glasses or contact lenses? A laser eye treatment can optimise your vision.
- Various types of laser treatments are possible, depending on your eyes and according to your preferences
- Quick recovery
- Irreversible
- Not advisable for everyone
Extra lens implant
From age 18 to 45
Would you like a less invasive, reversible treatment for a life without glasses? Then the implant of a clear ocular lens, which is placed in front of your natural lens, may be the solution for you.
- Reversible, since we don’t touch your natural ocular lens
- Suitable if you suffer from dry eyes
- Very quick recovery
- More expensive solution
- Not recommended for everyone (e.g. if the anterior chamber is narrow)
Lens replacement
After age 45
If you are 45 or older, your lens will naturally begin to lose some of its elasticity, and you may opt for a treatment whereby your natural ocular lens is replaced by an artificial lens.
- Your visual acuity will never change again
- No risk of cataracts
- Restores near vision and reading ability
- Irreversible
- Little likelihood of needing to wear glasses afterwards for specific distances.
Four steps to a life without glasses
Intake examination
The process begins with an extensive intake examination. We conduct an in-depth exam of your eyes and we clearly map out your eye condition (e.g. sharpness of vision, thickness and curvature of your cornea, eye pressure, tear film quality, etc.). In addition, we like to get to know you, listen carefully to your needs, your life and work situation and expectations.
Choice of treatment
Based on all the information from the intake exam, we advise you on the treatment that is best suited to you. Together, we look at your options and draw up a treatment plan that best fits with your lifestyle and wishes.
Scheduling and treatment
Next, the chosen treatment is scheduled and we inform you of the preparations for the procedure, as well as what to expect on the days after the procedure. You will be fully informed and can look forward to the procedure with confidence.
Follow-up
After the treatment, we ensure that your recovery period goes as smoothly as possible. We follow up and check how your vision has improved. If needed, we take any post-treatment steps necessary to ensure that you are happy with the result.
