Femto LASIK is one of the most recognized and safest methods for correcting refractive errors today. This modern procedure offers a simple and effective way to restore natural vision. Compared to other methods such as traditional LASIK, Femto LASIK is considered more precise and safer.
What differentiates Femto LASIK from conventional LASIK?
While traditional LASIK uses a blade to prepare the corneal flap, Femto LASIK uses an ultra-precise femtosecond laser. This allows for:
If the first treatment does not produce the desired result, Femto LASIK can easily be repeated. The cornea remains undamaged, as the bubbles created by the laser are fully absorbed and the tissue regenerates.
How does Femto LASIK work for eye laser treatment in Frankfurt?
The procedure involves precisely reshaping the cornea using laser light. This corrects the refractive power of the eye, allowing nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism to be permanently corrected. It is one of the most widely known and proven vision correction procedures in the world.

We are happy to provide detailed information on:
Femto LASIK is only one of three generations of eye laser treatments. Each new development in Frankfurt aims to further minimize risks and side effects while increasing the safety of the procedure. In addition to Femto LASIK, there is also traditional LASIK and the innovative ReLex procedure.
At Augenland, we are dedicated to helping people with visual impairments achieve optimal vision through a minimally invasive procedure. That’s why everything at Augenland revolves around providing each patient with personalized care, the highest quality standards, and top medical expertise.
The preliminary examination for eye laser treatment is an essential part of the procedure. It allows the surgeon to determine the exact characteristics of the eye. A thorough preliminary check guarantees safety and precision during the laser treatment.
Augenland is equipped with the most advanced diagnostic devices, and here we would like to introduce the most important ones to you.
The phoropter enables highly accurate automatic refraction. For seamless data transfer, the phoropter is directly connected to various devices. Under the most natural visual conditions possible, an exact prescription for corrective lenses is determined. For testing near visual acuity, an illuminated near reading chart is integrated. The improved viewing lenses with an anti-smudge coating provide even more precise results.
The LASIK procedure is performed without general anesthesia, injections, or other strong anesthetics. A mild sedative tablet and special numbing eye drops are entirely sufficient. Even during the laser treatment, you can communicate with the surgeon. Should your eyes move during the LASIK procedure, the eye tracker will detect it. The eye tracker follows even the tiniest eye movements, ensuring that the laser treatment is always carried out precisely in the correct spot.
The cornea is located at the front of the eye, is transparent, and shaped like a watch glass. It consists of non-vascular tissue, is usually about half a millimeter thick, and functions as a powerful lens. Once the cornea has been gently fixed in place with a silicone ring—completely without pain—the femtosecond laser separates a very thin, circular corneal flap, about one-tenth of a millimeter thick. This flap is then lifted by the surgeon.
The now-exposed corneal layer is optimized with the excimer laser through a computer-controlled, targeted removal of tissue. By altering the cornea’s refractive power, the refractive error is corrected. The actual laser process takes only a few seconds and is completely painless. Any unintended eye movements are immediately detected by the eye tracker system and compensated for by the laser. Finally, the corneal flap is folded back into place. Due to adhesion forces, it immediately rests securely and precisely in its original position.
Every patient is treated and examined using the best available software and hardware. All advanced functions such as WaveScan, iris registration, eye tracker, and tissue-saving technology are utilized.
Billing According to the German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ)
Overall, the use of our femtosecond laser guarantees, thanks to its innovative technology, that the flap required for correction has greater biochemical stability and heals faster. Postoperative visual acuity is also of higher quality due to the advanced technology of our laser.
Numerous clinical studies confirm: The advanced technology of the femtosecond laser makes laser vision correction in Frankfurt safer than ever. This highly precise method enables a significant improvement in visual acuity with minimal risk.
What is a Femtosecond Laser?
A femtosecond is an extremely short time span – precisely, one quadrillionth of a second. The term describes the duration of the light pulses produced by the laser. These ultra-short pulses compress a large amount of energy, allowing for a precise and gentle correction of refractive errors without damaging the structure of the eye.
Advantages of This Technology in Frankfurt
Our state-of-the-art femtosecond laser offers:

The advanced EM-3000 microscope automatically and contact-free measures the density and shape of endothelial cells – an important cell layer on the inside of your cornea. It takes seven fully automatic series of 15 images each, allowing precise examination of your corneal endothelial cells. This device is equipped with the latest software and connected to other diagnostic tools.
The Pentacam HR from Oculus creates a corneal topography, displaying the unique surface of your cornea. It measures corneal thickness in 3D at about 25,000 points on both the front and back surfaces.
Aufgrund dieser präzisen Messung besteht die Sicherheit, dass die Hornhaut nach dem Augenlasern eine ausreichende Dicke aufweist.
Weiterhin ermöglicht die Pentacam die Erkennung vorhandener Hornhaut- und Linsentrübungen sowie die Darstellung des vorderen Augenabschnittes.
WaveScan measures scotopic pupil size and higher-order aberrations of each eye. It identifies all optical image errors that can impair maximum visual performance – errors that cannot be corrected with glasses or contact lenses.
The VISX STAR Excimer Laser is world-renowned and was the very first device to receive FDA (Food and Drug Administration) approval in the United States. Since then, it has been continuously enhanced and modernized. This advanced excimer laser system incorporates the latest laser technology, ensuring the highest standards of safety and precision.
Before treatment, all diagnostic data collected through WaveScan are transferred to the VISX Excimer Laser. The VISX STAR S4 IR Laser processes this information with utmost accuracy and applies it to the eye with exceptional precision.
Key Features and Benefits of the VISX STAR S4:
Numerous clinical studies prove it: The technology of the femtosecond laser makes eye laser treatment for improving your vision as safe as never before.
By the way, a femtosecond is an ultra-short period of time, to be precise, one quadrillionth of a second. The specification refers to the duration of the light pulses generated by the laser. A femtosecond laser thus compresses a large amount of energy into an ultra-short time frame and enables precise and effective correction without endangering the substance of the eye.
Our state-of-the-art femtosecond laser has the following technical data and resulting advantages:
All in all, the use of our femtosecond laser guarantees through its innovative technology that the flap required for the correction has higher biochemical stability and heals faster. In addition, the visual acuity after the operation is of higher quality thanks to the modern technology of our laser.

Our iLASIK Suite from the manufacturer AMO is one of the most modern and most precise LASIK systems in the world. Your iLASIK treatment will therefore be safer than ever before.
With the intelligent, computer-controlled iLASIK system, every LASIK procedure can be completely tailored to the individual needs of each patient. Every step of the procedure is supported by state-of-the-art technology. The individual processes of the treatment are interconnected and optimally coordinated – thus the highest precision and maximum safety can be ensured throughout the entire LASIK procedure.
Irregularities of the cornea of your eye are, for example, precisely measured beforehand during the eye laser preparation and stored in the program of the excimer laser so that they can be taken into account during the correction.
Also, the exact parameters of the flap required for your procedure – its thickness, size, alignment, and outline – can be precisely defined through preparatory measurements. Thanks to this data and its highly modern technology, the Intralase FS femtosecond laser can prepare the approximately 0.1 mm thick flap precisely and gently on the tissue and guarantee excellent eye laser results.
The fully automated VisX system for iris recognition makes it possible to precisely map the data collected in the WaveScan on the condition of your eye onto your cornea during the LASIK procedure, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of the process. The Active Track 3D eye tracking system additionally monitors your unconscious eye movements and ensures an immediate adjustment of the laser. The beam of the VisX S4 excimer laser is variable and can be set between 0.65 and 6.5 mm. The frequency of the laser can be set between six and 20 Hertz. These technical refinements make it possible to achieve an equally perfect result with less removal of corneal tissue.
The American health authority FDA carried out extensive clinical studies before approving the CustomVue laser procedure. 98% of the participants with myopia showed visual acuity of 1.0 or higher one year after the treatment. No other laser procedure in the field of medicine has been examined so extensively.

First, the eye is numbed with drops. A femtosecond laser creates a thin corneal flap, which remains attached on one side like a hinge. The flap is folded aside, the laser correction is performed on the underlying tissue, and any eye movement is tracked and compensated in milliseconds. After treatment, the flap is repositioned, the interface is rinsed, and the flap naturally seals. Healing occurs within 4–6 hours.
Post-treatment, regular follow-up exams are important, even without symptoms, to ensure the best results. Eye laser treatment over age 50 is also a safe and cost-effective alternative to glasses or contact lenses.
Eye laser treatment over 50 is also a safe but also more affordable alternative to glasses and contact lenses. You do not take a big risk if you want to regain your natural vision through eye laser treatment at your eye doctor.

A PRK Lasik surgery is the correction of a visual impairment on the surface of the cornea by means of an Excimer LASER without flap. This is a very short and painless procedure.
After the anesthesia of the cornea with eye drops, the treatment begins by loosening the superficial cell layer of the cornea, the epithelium, by means of a special solution. Afterwards, the laser treatment begins with the Excimer laser. The laser shapes the corneal tissue so that the cornea receives the correct curvature and thus the optimal refractive power. For protection, a bandage contact lens is inserted for the following 4 days. Within these days the epithelium renews itself on its own.
The healing process with PRK is associated with somewhat more complaints, such as foreign body sensation and increased sensitivity to glare immediately after the procedure for a few days. Until the stabilization of the optimal visual acuity, a somewhat longer period of time is necessary.
Advantages of this method are the absence of flap complications both during and after the operation. In addition, there is the possibility of also performing an Excimer laser procedure in patients who, due to too low corneal thickness, a corneal disease, or the practice of combat sports, cannot undergo a LASIK surgery.
The LASEK treatment is another method of the operative correction of a visual impairment on the surface of the cornea by means of an Excimer LASER with epithelial flap.
The eye laser procedure proceeds comparably to PRK with the difference that the epithelium, after an alcohol application, is carefully lifted with a special spatula. At the end of the Excimer LASER treatment the epithelium is folded back again.
The difference to the LASIK method lies in the thickness of the flap. In a LASIK surgery, the thickness of the flap amounts to 100 micrometers and more, whereas in a LASEK surgery it is merely the thickness of the epithelium.
Also with the LASEK method it takes longer than with LASIK surgery until the final visual acuity is reached. One should count on several days here.
The advantage compared to the PRK method consists in the time immediately after the surgery. The days after the procedure are connected with less pain and therefore also more pleasant.

Do you suffer from a refractive error? Would you like to live without glasses or contact lenses in the future? Then LASIK surgery at our Frankfurt clinic may be the ideal solution!
Laser in-situ keratomileusis (LASIK) is an eye surgery in which removing corneal tissue changes the curvature of the cornea. Once all potential contraindications have been ruled out by our trained specialists during a LASIK preliminary examination, the surgery gives you the long-term opportunity to live without visual aids.
In Femto-LASIK, the risk of complications is significantly reduced. The benefits of the femtosecond laser are best illustrated by the factors precision and safety: the high-tech, computer-controlled process virtually eliminates the possibility of tissue damage at the most critical stage of the procedure. Instead of using a microkeratome blade, as in conventional LASIK, the flap is created by a computer-guided laser accurate to the micrometer. This is why we rely on this type of LASIK in our Frankfurt clinic.
The Augenland team consists of 40 professionals, including ophthalmic surgeons, master opticians, optometrists, medical assistants, surgical assistants, anesthetists, anesthesia nurses, and technicians. Our LASIK surgery facilities are in Frankfurt, but our service area also includes Hanau, Langen, Darmstadt, Wiesbaden, Mainz, and Aschaffenburg.

It is widely assumed that laser eye surgery is more expensive than buying glasses or contact lenses. At Augenland, we prove otherwise by offering an affordable solution. From the preliminary examination to aftercare, you can plan all costs in advance – with no hidden fees. Unlike glasses or contact lenses, our treatment is typically a one-time investment, saving you money in the long run.
If you decide to undergo laser treatment but cannot pay the full amount immediately, we offer flexible financing so you can pay in installments. Our goal is to help everyone with vision problems avoid wearing glasses or contact lenses. While glasses can be fashionable, they fog up with temperature changes and must be carried everywhere. Contact lenses often cause discomfort for some people and require daily handling. LASIK offers a practical alternative to see well without assistance.
In refractive surgery, the cornea’s refractive power is altered to permanently correct your vision problem. We use the latest technology and highly specialized, experienced professionals.
Do you wish to schedule an appointment for eye laser treatment? Then you should know our price in advance. The total cost ultimately consists of the following components: the preliminary examination for both eyes, the treatment by an experienced ophthalmologist, and the follow-up examinations. Of course, between your first visit and the laser procedure, a final examination will also take place.
The preliminary examination for both eyes is considered an individual service and is charged at €50. After that, the price varies depending on the method: around €1,890 for both eyes for a PRK or LASEK treatment, and around €2,250 for both eyes for a Femto-LASIK treatment.
The aftercare included in the price contains three follow-up examinations.
With just your name and address, we can check within minutes if financing with multiple installments is possible. No interest is charged for the first six months. This can even be arranged during the initial phone call when booking your consultation.
All our prices follow the official German Medical Fee Schedule (GOÄ), ensuring full transparency.
If you wear contact lenses, you must stop wearing them at least one week before the preliminary exam and surgery, using glasses instead.

After the procedure, you can go home and should ideally rest for a few hours. You’ll receive protective goggles to shield your eyes from accidental touch. The first follow-up takes place the next day. Use the prescribed eye drops regularly. Wear sunglasses for the first few days, and avoid rubbing or pressing on your eyes. You can gradually resume your normal routine. The second follow-up takes place two weeks after the surgery.
If you are among the patients who come to us with a particularly severe visual impairment, a combination solution of laser procedure and implantation of a lens could be a possibility to help you. This combined procedure is called Bioptics.
Patients who, despite their young age, suffer from very high refractive errors and whose cornea also shows astigmatism — meaning they have such high farsightedness, nearsightedness, or astigmatism that the visual defect simply cannot be corrected with a single treatment.
Especially when our younger patients come to us with significantly elevated diopter values and an additional diagnosis of astigmatism, the optimal solution lies in a combination of Femto-LASIK and the implantation of a posterior chamber lens. Together, these combined procedures achieve a perfect result.
The Bioptics procedure consists of the following three steps:
Even before the implantation of an intraocular lens, as in a classic Femto-LASIK, a so-called flap is cut from the top layer of the cornea with the highest precision and safety, in just seconds and completely painlessly. This flap remains connected to the rest of the cornea like a lid on a natural hinge. At this stage, the flap — under which the later laser treatment will take place — is not yet lifted; it will only be needed in the third step of the procedure and will then heal smoothly after the subsequent laser treatment.
Immediately after the first step, the treating doctor inserts the intraocular lens. Depending on the case and your individual needs, either a so-called phakic lens is used, which supplements your naturally existing lens, or the natural lens is replaced by an intraocular lens, which can be multifocal or toric.
Immediately after the first step, the treating doctor inserts the intraocular lens.
About four weeks after this implantation then follows the treatment with our highly modern, tested, and many times proven femtosecond laser. The flap produced in step 1 is only now opened, the underlying layer of the cornea is thereby treated by the laser so that the necessary correction is achieved.
Following the procedure, the flap is closed again, it adheres within a few days entirely on its own, is sealed by the surrounding cornea, and reaches in the shortest time complete stability and safety.
