Erfahrungsbericht: Phake Linsenimplantation

Ein EyeLaser Patient berichtet über seine Erfahrung mit der Phake-Linsenimplantation.

Ich bin seit meinem 11. Lebensjahr kurzsichtig, habe dabei drei Jahre lang ungefähr eine Brille getragen. Dabei hat sich meine Kurzsichtigkeit rasant verschlechtert, sodass ich mit 14, 15 ungefähr harte Kontaktlinsen tragen musste. Die habe ich bis vor zwei Jahren gut toleriert. Die letzten zwei Jahre habe ich aber gemerkt, dass meine Augen immer rot werden, anfangen zu jucken, und dass ich zunehmend empfindlich geworden bin auf die harten Kontaktlinsen. Da habe ich mir überlegt, ich möchte etwas unternehmen, ich möchte etwas dagegen tun.

Aufgrund meiner starken Kurzsichtigkeit und der Tatsache, dass meine Hornhaut normal dick ist, wurde bei mir eine Implantation einer intraokularen Linse vorgeschlagen. Und nach reichlicher Überlegung habe ich mich dazu entschlossen, weil es für mich anscheinend auch die beste Option ist. Jetzt postoperativ kann ich sagen, ich bin damit zufrieden, ja. Ich habe zwei Kontaktlinsen in mein Auge implantiert bekommen, zusätzlich zu der natürlichen Linse. Ich habe jetzt keine Brillen mehr, ich trage keine Kontaktlinsen mehr, ich habe überhaupt keine Fremdkörper mehr, und sehe scharf. Bei der letzten Untersuchung hatten wir 150 % Sicht, ich glaube ich habe noch nie in meinem Leben so scharf gesehen.

Ich muss sagen, ich hatte keine postoperativen Schmerzen, lediglich ein leichtes Druckgefühl im Kopf, was natürlich nach dem Eingriff als normal anzusehen ist. Immerhin wurde ja doch etwas manipuliert und implantiert, aber die Schmerzen waren relativ schnell weg. Ich habe zwei bis drei Tage ungefähr eine Lichtempfindlichkeit empfunden. Mittlerweile ist das auch schon fast weg. Ich trage zwar nach wie vor die vorgeschlagenen Sonnenbrillen, aber ich bin mehr so lichtempfindlich, wie die ersten zwei, drei Tage, das ist schnell vergangen. Ansonsten habe ich bei den Augen keine weiteren Probleme. Ich habe nicht ein Fremdkörpergefühl, ich spüre nichts beim Schlafen, es irritiert mich nicht. Es ist so, wie wenn diese Linsen latent Ihre Arbeit verrichten und ich würde gar nicht merken, dass sie da sind. Mit den Kontaktlinsen hatte ich davor durchaus das Problem, dass ich bemerkt habe, mit jedem Zwinkern spüre ich die Linsen. Das ist mal ein Problem gewesen. Das Zweite ist, die bewegen sich, das stört auch bei der Visualisierung, wenn man immer bemerkt, dass die Linsen wackeln. Man gewöhnt sich daran, aber es ist immer ein Problem. Mit den jetzigen Implantaten merke ich gar nichts, das ist eine scharfe Sicht durchgehend.

Brillen waren für mich nie eine Option, ich habe immer eine Umgebungsübelkeit gehabt, wenn ich mich bewege, durch die Unschärfe war mir immer übel. Mit den Linsen habe ich totale Sicht drum herum, es ist alle scharf. Es ist nicht wie bei den harten Linsen, dass da das Bild wackelt auch, sondern es ist alles ruhig, es ist alles gerade. Das ist auch etwas, was mich mit den Brillen unglaublich gestört hat einfach, dass das ganze Bild mit 11 Dioptrien so verzogen ist. Mit den Linsen ist alles tip-top. Ich sehe alles durchgehend scharf. Ich freue mich schon auf den Urlaub in einem Monat. Wir fahren nach Thailand, in ein schönes Urlaubsresort, ich bin mal gespannt, wie die Optik dort ist.

Das nächste ist, meine Frau freut sich natürlich auch. Sie hat immer schon gefunden, dass ich schöne Augen habe, und jetzt findet sie mich noch ansehnlicher. Das andere, ein kleiner Scherz am Rande, wie ich noch nicht so scharf gesehen habe, konnte sie in der Frühe immer schnell in das Badezimmer huschen, hat sich frisch gemacht, und danach habe ich sie tip-top gesehen. Jetzt befürchtet sie natürlich, dass ich sie in der Frühe in all ihrer Schönheit sehen könnte. Aber das ist auch ein positiver Nebeneffekt.

Ja, also bei der Dioptrie, die ich gehabt habe und bei den Optionen, die mir zur Verfügung standen, würde ich auf jeden Fall sagen: Ja. Für mich gab es nämlich nicht viele andere Optionen, und mit dem Ergebnis bin ich so zufrieden, dass ich sagen kann: “Ja, ich könnte das bedenkenlos jemandem weiterempfehlen.”

What our patients say…

Two things that absolutely convinced me here: the surgery result and how they handled me perfectly. Very friendly reception, top professional medical information before, during and after the surgery. Dr Derhartunian approaches the patient, listens carefully to what the patient expects and outlines the procedure and the effects of the surgery perfectly. To be able to live without glasses after 40 years is a gift.

My thanks to Dr Derhartunian!

I was very nervous before arriving at the clinic. Then, when I had a few words with the doctor, I knew it was the right decision to come here! The long journey was worth it. I was very satisfied with the preliminary examination and the detailed explanations that the doctor kept giving me during the examination. He also told me every move during the O.P. I always had the feeling that I was in very good hands. It was one of the best decisions I made.

I wore glasses for 32 years because of severe myopia. Most recently, I also had presbyopia. I had been thinking about having my eyes lasered for a while. But everything that has to do with my eyes is fraught with fear for me. The consultation at EyeLaser was very professional. The procedure itself only took a few minutes. After three days, I could have gone back to work, but I allowed myself a week’s holiday.

Since then, I have enjoyed life without visual aids. I don’t even need reading glasses. I am finally free of glasses after 32 years.

Thank you, Dr Derhartunian and his team!

I had laser surgery with Dr Derhartunian and his team back in 2013. I still think it was one of the best decisions I ever made: I still have perfect vision and no other problems with my eyes! Dr Derhartunian holds free information evenings in person, which is the perfect opportunity to ask questions about the operation. He is sympathetic and answered all questions competently and, above all, in an understandable way. I can recommend the operation. It is definitely worth the money!

The surgery took 15 minutes for both eyes and was totally painless. Dr Derhartunian explained step-by-step which took away the nervousness. I had no pain or problems after the operation either. The surgery was on Friday, and I went back to work (computer work) on Monday. Exactly one month after the operation, I had a check-up. Again, this examination was carried out very accurately. I am 100% satisfied.

The entire team is friendly, competent and very well organized. My quality of life without lenses and glassed has increased significantly. I would do it again and definitely recommend it.

Not wearing glasses after 43 years is a gift! The team around Dr Derhartunian has by far exceeded all my expectations! 6 diopters of short-sightedness and 3 diopters of long-sightedness gone in 7 minutes! Simply gone! Pain? NONE! The operation in itself is no more than a visit to the dentist, the next day, I was able to drive myself to the follow-up check-up, WITHOUT GLASSES!!!!!!!!

Thanks to the two doctors’ first-class preparation and surgery, the surgery situation was well tolerable even for a patient with anxiety. The three follow-up visits were thorough and informative and gave me the chance to ask any questions. It was always possible to ask about any problems (which were not problems at all!).

Conclusion: absolutely recommendable clinic and many thanks to all involved!

The operation was short and painless.

Even after the operation, I had no pain or other impairments. The entire team is extremely friendly and helpful. Since I am completely satisfied with the result, I can only recommend EyeLaser.

New lease of life!

I “only” wanted to have my eyes lasered to get away from glasses, but then I was diagnosed with cataracts. It was a shock for me, but Dr Derhartunian calmed me down and gave me great information about the situation. After 50 minutes, everything was done. I had new lenses implanted, which corrected my prescription. 2nd check-up after one week: visual performance 150 %!!!!! And that after 35 years of glasses with almost 7 dioptres – and now no more glasses!!! I can only recommend it to everyone; I was also very scared, but completely needlessly. During the operation, I never had any pain, only a short feeling of pressure when the lens was inserted and brought into position. So don’t hesitate to go to the two specialists; it’s a new way of life. Have the courage!

The doc is super friendly, very professional and really tip-top.

I was able to see very well 4 hours after the procedure. I was a little light-sensitive for a few days, which I was made aware of in advance. I am very pleased. The only annoying thing is that I didn’t do it earlier.

DocFinder User
Very satisfied with the services of the practice.

Both assessments and organisation went smoothly, very short waiting times, reception and premises, everything top. But even better than the organisation was personal care. No questions remained unanswered. Dr Derhartunian took lots of time for personal conversation. There was no feeling of time pressure. Professional, competent, courteous. Keep it up! I definitely recommend the practice and Dr. Derhartunian!

My quality of life has increased immensely after the laser, despite “not that many diopters”.

A big THANK YOU for that! I can only warmly recommend the clinic.

DocFinder User

I’ve been wearing glasses for 40 years, and I don’t regret taking this step much earlier.

I had no problem with the healing process and have been enjoying my life without glasses ever since.

DocFinder User

It was the best decision of my life.

After laser eye surgery, my ametropia was completely eliminated, and I was able to see everything razor-sharp the day after the operation. The doctor and his entire team are super nice and professional.

DocFinder User

Everyone who is thinking about having their eyes lasered should come here!

I have been seeing PERFECT since then and am extremely satisfied with the result. Highly recommended and personally regret not having done it earlier. A completely different attitude towards life of not having to wear glasses anymore.

DocFinder User
The whole team is warm, competent and helpful.

Have already had both eyes operated on and multifocal lenses fitted. I am very happy with it.

Perfect and competent care

I felt very competently advised and comfortable from the first contact. During the preliminary examination, the doctor detected an undiscovered allergy. Another ophthalmologist had previously diagnosed this as extremely dry eyes – thank you very much for that. During the surgery, Dr Derhartunian was very empathetic and explained every step, which helped me get my nervousness under control. Thank you very much for the nice and competent care! I can recommend the Eyelaser practice 100%.
