5 Best Laser Eye Surgery Clinics in Stockholm

Patients who want to compare the main laser methods in one place will find four at Lirema. The Kungsgatan clinic offers SMILE PRO, FS-LASIK, a no-cut surface treatment for thin corneas or strong astigmatism, and PRESBYOND for readers over 45. A free online assessment answers within two working days whether laser suits you, and the pre-exam at the clinic is free too. Follow-up checks are free for up to five years, as is any retreatment needed in that period.

Its strength lies in a long guarantee and simple payment terms. Vårda's Stockholm clinic on Kammakargatan offers NoCut laser for patients aged 18 to 45, with premium lens exchange and ICL for others. Eye surgeons Dr Samad Pourevahed and Dr Wamidh Simawi work at the clinic. The consultation and pre-exam are free, a six-year guarantee includes free check-ups, an on-call phone and patient insurance, and treatment can be paid interest-free over 36 months.

Those with a moderate prescription who prefer a treatment without any incision can look at Ögonlasern's No Cut laser. The Sankt Eriksgatan clinic in Kungsholmen treats myopia up to about -6, hyperopia up to +2 and astigmatism up to -4, from age 20. The published price is SEK 28,900 for both eyes, with interest-free instalments over 24 months. A safety package covers adjustments, extra check-ups and medication for 36 months, and the first phone consultation is free.

Its strength lies in the range of methods and a long guarantee. Memira examines patients at its City clinic on Norrlandsgatan and operates in Hagastaden, next to Karolinska University Hospital. Methods include FS-LASIK, LASEK, Trans-PRK and the lenticule technique CLEAR, with lens exchange and ICL as alternatives. Both an optician and a doctor must agree before surgery goes ahead. The examination is free, and most laser methods come with a ten-year guarantee that covers new laser correction.

Patients who want to deal with one surgeon from first visit to last should consider Novius. At the Skeppargatan clinic in Östermalm, patients under 45 see the same surgeon through examination, treatment and follow-up. Laser options are inLASIK, a fully laser-guided form of FS-LASIK, and LASEK when a flap is not advised, with ICL and lens exchange as alternatives. The pre-exam is free, and the guarantee package adds on-call support in the first days, free check-ups and any complementary treatment.
