A Life without Glasses – Success Stories from Zurich

Ein Leben ohne Brille – Erfolgsgeschichten aus Zürich

Case study 1: The sporty marketing manager

  • Patient: “Laura S. (32), Marketing Manager from Zurich”
  • Problem: Severe nearsightedness (-6 dpt) and dry eyes from contact lenses in an air-conditioned office. Jogging and swimming with visual aids was always cumbersome.
  • Solution: After a thorough analysis of the cornea, the minimally invasive SmartSight method was chosen because it is particularly gentle on the tear film.
  • Quote: “The freedom to wake up in the morning and see the clock on the wall clearly is indescribable. I finally feel unrestricted when playing sports. The care provided by Dr. Derhartunian was extremely professional and personal from the start.”

Case study 2: The experienced project manager

  • Patient: “Michael B. (48), Project Manager from Winterthur”
  • Problem: The onset of presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) made the constant switching between distance and reading glasses at work a torment.
  • Solution: A premium lens replacement with EDOF multifocal lenses, which corrected the farsightedness and restored sharp vision up close and on the computer.
  • Quote: “I was skeptical whether you could really see well again at all distances. The result exceeded my expectations. It is an enormous increase in the quality of life, not only at work, but also when reading the menu in the restaurant.”
