Laser procedures
Zyoptix procedure - customized treatment
The customized Zyoptix visual correction available only our Institution in Hungary was completed with further two versions offering the opportunity for patients looking for the most sophisticated procedures to choose from 3 treatments based on their specific needs and eye structure..
Zyoptix - available treatment options
- Zyoptix aspheric treatment
- Zyoptix indulgent treatment
- Zyoptix PT, for the treatment of hidden reflection defects
Excellent visual quality irrespectively of the light conditions - Zyoptix aspheric treatment
Zyoptix aspheric treatment provides excellent visual results for patients underwent laser visual-improvement surgery. Due to the aspheric treatment algorithm developed by Bausch&Lomb this procedure considers not only the curve of the cornea but its biomechanical changes and deviations from the spherical form (asphericity). As a result this procedure provides excellent visual quality irrespectively of the light conditions.
High level of indulgence -
Zyoptix indulgent treatment
Zyoptix indulgent treatment provides solution for patients who could not use the refractive treatment methods until now due to their thin cornea. The special software developed by thorough scientific research gives the opportunity to evaporate 20 percent less tissue providing perfect vision and life without glasses or contact lenses for those having thin cornea.
For elimination of hidden reflection defects -
Zyoptix PT
By now Zyoptix PT has been available in the Optimum Látásjavító Lézerközpont (Optimum Vision-improving Laser Centre) for 2 years offering solution for visual improvement for those with high level of hidden reflection defects.

LASIK - The most popular procedure
LASIK (LASer In situ Keratomileusis) - Laser procedure using the flap techniques
Laser treatments using the creation of a flap have evolved a lot in the last few years. They performed the first LASIK type surgery in 1991 and it has been the most refined and popular techinique since. Many thousand LASIK procedures are perforned each year in Europe and many million throughout the world. In the United States more than 92% of surgeries performed to treat near-sightedness, far-sightedness and astigmatism are LASIK. "LASIK - Is a true miracle!"
What is the secret to the success of LASIK?
The procedure is painless and it takes no longer than 3-5 minutes. For most patients the results are immediate and they can see clearly the day of the surgery.
How is LASIK performed?
The surgeon, using a special precise device (microkeratome), creates a flap consisting of the upper corneal layer. This flap is lifted so that the laser procedure can be performed on the area underneath. This takes about 1-2 minutes for each eye. The flap is then returned to its original position without suturing and heals naturally.
The LASIK procedure is performed by an automated machine designed especially for the ultrafine needs of eye correction. The instrument has many built-in safety systems that supervise the entire procedure, reducing risk to the lowest possible level. The safety and results of LASIK have been supported by many clinical tests. Its popularity continually grows, because patients receive many unquestionable benefits, founded on a decade of experience.
PRK - Older Technique
PRK (PhotoRefractive Keratektomia) - laser surgery performed on surface of eye
PRK was developed 20 years ago in the 1980s. This procedure consists of manually sculpting the surface of the cornea with a hand-held machine. The laser reshapes the cornea by removing the outer layer. Although the cornea heals fairly quickly, there is some pain after the procedure and it may take a few weeks for clear vision to set in. Despite these few negative attributes some surgeons prefer PRK, because the results have been good for treating less severe near-sightedness and special cases, for example patients who have a thin cornea.
LASEK - Newer alternative in Opthalmology
A newer alternative to PRK is LASEK (Laser assisted sub-epithelial keratomileusis). Its advantage is that the outer layer of the cornea does not have to be removed, as in the PRK procedure; it is loosened and lifted. Then the laser burns the necessary area of the cornea to correct the problem. The flap is then placed back to its original position and the healing process begins. This treatment is less painful then the PRK, which has similar clinical results and is promising, but the procedure is still developing.
