Premium lenses: vision correction through lens surgery
In patients with high levels of farsightedness or nearsightedness, refractive errors can be easily corrected by replacing the lenses with intraocular lenses. This makes it possible to live without glasses or contact lenses. Intraocular lenses are artificial lenses that are inserted into the eye as a replacement or in addition to the body's own lens. Good advice is just as important as a thorough preliminary examination. The LZW will explain the advantages and possible side effects to you.

The LZW offers state-of-the-art lens surgery
The right lens procedure is an excellent alternative to laser treatment. We offer a variety of customized methods and lenses perfectly tailored to your needs to ensure your optimal vision quality.
Our goal: A life without glasses or contact lenses through individually adapted, state-of-the-art treatments.
Refractive Lens Exchange (CLE)
Refractive lens exchange is a procedure in which the eye's natural lens is replaced to correct diopters.
This procedure is often recommended for people over 45 whose natural lens is losing flexibility and who therefore have problems with near vision. It is also an option for younger people who are not suitable for laser procedures or implantable contact lenses (ICLs).
Different types of IOLs can be used, the most common being multifocal lenses, which allow objects to be seen clearly at all distances – similar to progressive lenses.
add-on lenses
Add-on lenses are IOLs that are placed in the eye in addition to the artificial lens that has already been implanted. They are used to further improve the quality of vision or to meet specific visual requirements (e.g. near vision).
These lenses can be inserted, replaced or removed later to optimally adjust vision. They are particularly suitable for patients who need fine-tuning of their vision after cataract surgery or other eye surgery.
Implantable contact lenses (ICL)
The costs depend on the extent of the procedure. Do you want a general anesthetic instead of a local anesthetic? How extensive is the actual operation, what “condition” are your eyelids in?
After your individual and detailed consultation, you will receive a personal offer. It includes all costs and gives you planning security without any further cost risk. In our experience, the costs are usually between 1,500 and 2,500 euros for both eyes including anesthesia. If you have to cover the costs yourself, we are happy to offer you financing, as is the case with LASIK eyes. Please ask us.

Premium lenses are standard for us Lens Types & Methods
In contrast to the past, when artificial lenses were only used for cataracts, lens operations have become much more important today. In particular, due to the availability of multifocal lenses, which are better than progressive lenses and enable clear vision in the distance and in various close-up areas, including overhead, with a completely natural head position and without "zone reduction". We have specialized in this at the LZW and only use premium lenses (e.g. Zeiss).
However, individual advice from an ophthalmologist is essential for selecting the right lens.
Multifocal intraocular lenses (MIOLs) represent a common solution to open up a visible world to those affected without the need for visual aids. Such lenses enable wearers to clearly see objects at all distances - whether close, in between or far away - without the support of glasses. MIOLs are particularly advantageous for individuals who value independence from glasses in their daily lives. Due to their special nature, halo effects around light sources can occur after implantation, especially in poorly lit environments. However, users usually quickly get used to this side effect.

Monofocal lenses have a defined quality of vision at a specific distance, usually optimized for distance vision.
Advantages: Provide the best contrast and a clear, stable vision (usually) for distance. Easy and reliable to use.
Application: Ideal for patients who prefer clear vision at a specific distance without the complexity of multifocal lenses. Typically requires glasses for near or other viewing distances.
EDOF lenses are a modern solution in the field of ophthalmology that offer a continuous focal length over different distances. They differ from traditional multifocal lenses in their design, which allows for significant visual acuity over a wider range of distances. Ideal for patients seeking improved vision quality over different distances, especially for those with high demands on night vision, such as drivers.
Advantages:
- Provide clear vision for normal print size up to close, making them practical for everyday visual tasks such as reading.
- Improved night vision compared to traditional multifocal lenses, making them beneficial for people who drive at night or frequently work in low light conditions.

Aspheric lenses represent an advancement in monofocal IOL technology by utilizing a special geometry that flattens from the inside out. This advanced design sets them apart from standard lenses.

Glasses-free in old age through the use of premium lenses for cataracts
At LZW we offer effective, outpatient and painless treatment for cataracts, an age-related clouding of the lens of the eye. Our diverse lens models enable you to see clearly in all areas of vision - from near to far.
Dr. Steinhorst, our experienced chief physician, personally replaces the clouded lens with a high-quality premium lens implant. This operation not only enables complete healing of the cataract, but also excellent visual acuity without additional glasses.
