In laser eye surgery, a laser corrects the refractive error directly on the cornea — permanently treating short-sightedness, long-sightedness and astigmatism. At EyeLaser Zurich, every procedure is performed personally by Dr. med. univ. Victor Derhartunian (FEBO) — more than 20,000 procedures, over 2,500 per year.
