Laser treatment, lens surgery… or another solution?
A different procedure may suit a young short-sighted patient, someone with a high prescription, or someone over 45 who is increasingly bothered by reading glasses.
Because Saint James Clinic offers several laser treatments, ICL lens implantation and premium lens surgery, we can tailor our treatment recommendation to your examination results, age and lifestyle.
At Saint James Clinic, we choose the right medical solution for you from a range of options.
Discover our treatments!
Under the age of 45, laser treatments and ICL are usually the first choice, while over 45, lens procedures come to the fore. As age is only a starting point, the medical recommendation is always made during a thorough suitability assessment.

Vision correction lens surgeries
Lens surgeries are ideal for those who want to finally do away with compromises. Searching for and changing glasses is inconvenient, squinting while reading is annoying, and no one wants their vision to deteriorate further over time.
At our clinic, with a single modern procedure, you can regain the experience of sharp vision, even at all distances, thanks to our premium lenses.
- Comfortable reading and mobile use without glasses
- Confident driving, sharp vision day and night
- A lifelong solution with premium intraocular lenses
Premium multifocal lens
The essence of modern trifocal and multifocal lenses is that you can see clearly near, far, and intermediate distances with a single implanted artificial lens. This means that in most cases, separate reading or distance glasses are no longer needed after surgery.
Cataract surgery
Cataract removal is the most common eye procedure worldwide, which, when combined with premium intraocular lenses, not only stops vision deterioration but also ensures a higher quality of life, all safely.
