Your healthy eye
The cornea (transparent cornea) is part of the outer shell of the eye. Behind it lies the iris (colored iris). In the center of the eye is the pupil, which is visible as a round opening and behind which is the transparent lens. The retina forms the inner layer of the eye.
Sharp vision
Your eye works much like a camera: light enters the eye through the cornea, passes through the lens, and hits the retina at the exact center of the retina in the eye that sees in focus. The pupil ensures that the right amount of light always enters the eye by enlarging or shrinking accordingly. Flattening or bulging of the lens ensures that a sharp image is formed - depending on whether near or distant objects are perceived by the eye. The retina corresponds to the film of a camera. The light rays are projected from the lens onto the retina. The brain receives its information via the retina's photoreceptors, where the image finally takes shape.
FORMS OF MYOPIA
PRK is the oldest procedure in laser eye surgery (since 1987). It is suitable for correction of myopia up to max. -8 diopters, hyperopia up to max. +3 diopters and astigmatism up to -6 diopters.
First, the top layer of the cornea, the epithelium, is removed mechanically or by laser (Trans PRK). Then, the center of the cornea is ablated with the excimer laser to compensate for the refractive error. At the end of the surgery, a special funnel is used to cool the cornea. The epithelium re-forms under a contact lens in a few days and closes the superficial wound. PRK, LASEK and trans-PRK are essentially the same.
The methods have been used millions of times for decades and are scientifically recognized laser procedures with very stable long-term results.
The risks associated with both methods are low.
If some results of the preliminary examination are negative, we advise patients not to undergo laser surgery.
During this procedure, an artificial lens is inserted into the eye through a small incision and implanted between the natural lens and the iris. This lens corrects myopia up to -20 diopters, hyperopia up to +10 diopters and astigmatism up to - 6 diopters. In the other lens surgery procedures, the lenses are attached to the iris or in the chamber angle in front of the natural lens.
In refractive lens exchange, also called refractive lens exchange (RLE) or clear lens exchange (CLE), the natural lens of the eye is removed and replaced with a multifocal or accommodative artificial lens. The procedure is suitable for the correction of myopia up to a maximum of -30 diopters, hyperopia up to a maximum of +20 diopters and astigmatism up to approximately -12 diopters.
The procedure is identical to cataract surgery, the most common surgical procedure in medicine. It is therefore extremely standardized and safe. The difference with cataract surgery is that the lens is still relatively clear but dysfunctional, and it is exchanged to compensate for an existing defect as well as presbyopia. This operation can be performed conventionally with a blade and an ultrasound device. More gentle and incomparably more precise is the operation with the femtosecond laser. This advanced procedure ensures optimal anchoring and centering of the artificial lens.
After the healing process is complete (3-6 months), any residual refractive errors such as astigmatisms or aberrations can be corrected with the excimer laser. The combined eye surgery method of LASEK and lens surgery is also called BIOPTIK.
Refractive lens exchange (RLA) is so far the best and most reliable surgical procedure to make reading or varifocal glasses unnecessary.
The SUPRACOR procedure was developed by Technolas Perfect Vision, a world leader in laser eye surgery. With the SUPRACOR laser procedure, the AUREGIO Laser Center now offers a state-of-the-art possibility to have presbyopia treated with an excimer laser in combination with LASEK. With the SUPRACOR laser procedure, you can lead a life without reading glasses in the future. With Supracor, the cornea of both eyes is treated equally for distance and near vision. That is why we speak of multifocal treatment.
The quality of the laser treatment of your eyes and thus the safety of the treatment and consequently the quality of your vision for the rest of your life depend decisively on the technique used and the experience of your surgeon. In the */85following, we have compiled a checklist that should help you to recognize, on the basis of a few *targeted questions, where you can have an operation carried out without any worries and which offers are, at first glance, possibly inexpensive but ultimately inferior forms of treatment whose 'price advantage' is to be sought, among other things, in the use of an outdated technique.
The foundation for a successful treatment is laid by a conscientious, thorough examination of your eyes. Based on these results, the appropriate procedure that can meet your needs and requirements will be determined together with you in a detailed discussion and all risks as well as chances will be openly discussed.

In order to see well at dusk and in the dark, the treated area must be at least as large as the pupil diameter in twilight. Even if one does not suspect it, patients often have large pupils when measured accurately under night conditions, so that here laser treatment with older devices can lead to night driving problems
(e.g. halos) may occur.
A high level of professionalism, precision and reliability is guaranteed by Dr. Sven Lee with experience of more than 20 years and a case number of more than 40,000 with the LASEK method. Important in this context is the consultation, preliminary examination and surgery by one and the same doctor.
The surgical standards are regularly controlled, taking into account all known guidelines (especially the quality assurance of the Commission of Refractive Surgery). The patient and the quality of the surgery are the highest priority for Dr. Sven Lee.
MitoEnergy infusion for the regeneration of mitochondria.
Mitochondria are the power plants of all living beings and produce energy in the form of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) continuously. Mitochondria perform many vital functions for the cell. In addition to oxygen, they also require glucose, amino acids, fatty acids, minerals, vitamins and nucleic acids.
Counteracting mitochondrial dysfunction
Scientific evidence has shown for several years that neurological, metabolic, cardiac, immunological and oncological diseases are increasingly associated with acquired dysfunction of mitochondria as a major cause. In particular, tissues that are highly energy dependent, such as the nervous system, heart, and musculature, rely on an adequate supply of energy from mitochondria. Acquired dysfunction of mitochondria can nowadays be reliably determined by laboratory chemistry.
What does the MitoEnergyBasis infusion contain and do?
The goal of the treatment is the regeneration of mitochondria, the so-called mitochondrial biogenesis: the activation and new formation of mitochondria. For this purpose, we use the MitoEnergyBasis infusion according to the formula of the Arnika pharmacy in Unterhaching. This formula contains in high concentrations vitamin C, reduced glutathione, carnosine, magnesium, L-arginine, taurine, glycine, lysine, N-acetyl-tyrosine, potassium-magnesium-aspartate, vitamins B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, adenosylcobalamin, hydroxycobalamin and methylcobalamin.
All these substances have a synergistic effect on the function of mitochondria. The undisturbed function is not only important for the production of energy, but also essential for endogenous detoxification as well as immunological processes. The infusions are administered simultaneously with the me2.vie system therapy. High-frequency stimulation currents have a positive influence on cell and mitochondrial membrane structures and measurably improve the supply of nutrients to the mitochondria.
