The 9 Best Laser Eye Surgery Clinics in Berlin

Short-sighted patients who want a personalised Femto-LASIK will find it at sehkraft's Berlin centre on Oberwallstraße in Mitte. The group, with its main centre in Cologne and another in Vienna, plans each treatment with the WaveLight Plus InnovEyes system, which calculates an individual profile for every eye. Lens options include ICL implants and refractive lens exchange, so patients unsuited to laser treatment can be offered an alternative in the same practice.

Its strength lies in covering every age group in one clinic, from SMILE Pro for younger patients to PRESBYOND and multifocal lenses after 45. EuroEyes at the Center am Potsdamer Platz runs SMILE Pro on a ZEISS VISUMAX 800 laser, alongside Femto-LASIK, No-Touch Trans-PRK and EVO ICL lenses. Medical director Dr. Inken Lamcke leads a team of eye surgeons. The first eye check and consultation are free, and zero per cent financing is offered.

Patients who want laser and lens surgery from the same group as their regular eye doctor will find that set-up at Augerlin in Kreuzberg. Its surgical centre on Bergmannstraße offers SMILE Pro, Femto-LASIK, PRESBYOND and no-touch PRK, as well as ICL lenses and refractive lens exchange. Dr. Bastian Philippen and Dr. David Rua Amaro operate there, all on an outpatient basis. A free suitability check can be booked at the Bergmannstraße and Schönstraße practices.

Patients who want to know exactly what is included before booking will find detailed terms at Smile Eyes on Leipziger Platz. Published prices start at 1,990 euros per eye for LASEK/PRK, 2,100 euros for Femto-LASIK and 2,575 euros for SMILE pro. Examinations for a year after surgery are included, as is any re-treatment needed within five years. The group, a ZEISS partner, also offers No-Touch Trans-PRK and ICL lenses.

Patients who want a published price before booking will find one at Optical Express on Friedrichstraße. Femto-LASIK and LASEK/PRK start at 1,095 euros per eye, or 1,395 euros with iDesign wavefront mapping, and aftercare in the first 12 months is included. Most treatments are performed by ophthalmologist Dr. Harry vom Felde. A free laser check at an Optical Express optician comes first, and interest-free financing over 12 months is possible subject to a credit check.

Its strength lies in reach: LASERMED has eight locations across Berlin, so pre-examinations and check-ups can happen close to home. The group offers ReLEx SMILE Pro, Femto-LASIK, classic LASIK and PRK, plus ICL lenses for very high prescriptions. Named surgeons include Dr. Thomas Pahlitzsch and PD Dr. Milena Pahlitzsch. Prices range from about 950 to 2,500 euros per eye depending on the method, with examinations before and after surgery included.

English speakers will find a straightforward option here, as CARE Vision on Budapester Straße states that its staff advise in English among other languages. Laser treatment costs about 1,200 euros per eye, billed under the German medical fee scale after treatment, and multifocal lenses about 2,900 euros per eye. Free consultations run by video or in person, and Saturday appointments suit people who cannot take time off. Zero per cent financing over 12 months is offered.

Patients who prefer a day clinic led by experienced ophthalmic surgeons will find one at the Augentagesklinik Spreebogen in Moabit. Prof. Dr. Manfred Tetz and PD Dr. Isaak Fischinger lead a team of four eye specialists. LASIK uses an IntraLase femtosecond laser and a VISX excimer laser, and PRK, LASEK and Epi-LASEK are offered for thinner corneas. Lens exchange and femtosecond laser-assisted cataract surgery complete the range.

Patients whose eyes call for a lens rather than a laser may find a good fit at eyelight near the Kurfürstendamm. Founder Dr. Christine Mielke, an eye surgeon since 2003, works with Dr. Ilka Veltrup and Dr. Alexander Böker. The practice offers corneal refractive surgery alongside implantable contact lenses, multifocal and toric lens implants and cataract surgery. Diagnostics include Pentacam corneal mapping and wavefront analysis, which helps when suitability for a laser is borderline.
