About Us

Why choose Copenhagen Eye Centre (Øjenlægernes Center)?

Refractive laser and lens surgeries performed to eliminate or minimise the use of glasses or contact lenses have become increasingly popular and frequent. When the big decision about surgery has been taken, the next important issue is choice of treatment technique and surgeon.

You should choose us, if you aim for minimal eye surgery performed by the most competent, experienced and active European surgeons in a safe and personal environment. We guarantee the highest professional standards and use the proven, pioneering and game-changing ReLEx smile technique performed with ZEISS VisuMax as well as the most advanced lens surgery. We do not compromise with professional treatment indications to obtain a short-term financial gain, and the treatments, that we offer at the Centre, are the same that we would recommend to our closest relatives.

ReLex smile – minimal laser surgery on the cornea

In 2011 Copenhagen Eye Centre (Øjenlægernes Center) was the first private clinic in Northern Europe to use the proven, pioneering and game-changing ReLEx smile laser technique carried out with the most advanced, stationary laser (Carl Zeiss VisuMax 500 kHz). ReLEx smile (SMall Incision Lenticular Extraction) is state of the art in laser treatment of myopia and astigmatism and has many advantages over older methods as LASIK, FS-LASIK, EpiLASIK and LASEK (PRK and by some named “no cut technique”). Smile is a “flap-free” minimal corneal surgical procedure, optimizing corneal stability after treatment. This is a significant advance over LASIK, where the long “flap-opening” and subsequent reduced corneal stability, have discouraged pilots, military personnel, athletes and others from using the method. The LASIK “flap-opening” is the single most important reason why some professional ophthalmologists are sceptical about refractive laser treatments, and the disadvantage is eliminated with smile. Also the smile procedure can often be performed in connection with dry eyes which frequently is a problem among lens userus.
