Procedures
At AOZ Heidelberg we offer customized procedures for a lifelong vision without glasses, reading glasses and contact lenses.
We have solutions for each patient and each age group. We offer modern, state-of-the-art procedures and technologies like SMILE pro, implantable contact lenses (ICL) and the routine of Femto Lasik.
To correct for the problems of the aging eye, also called Presbyopia, we offer multi focal and EDOF lenses and a procedure called PRESBYOND Laser Blended Vision. The problems of the aging eye can be solved without removing and exchanging the intraocular lens by use of this vision-correction procedure by ZEISS.
Feedback from our patient is very important for us. Therefore we ask patients for their personal opinion and to give us a rating. This helps us to develop things further and to improve.
