Dr Fraenkel says: "Laser Vision SA has a unique emphasis on helping you with care, guidance and technology on your journey to recover your lost vision. Laser Vision SA exists to make it easier and more comfortable for you to regain your visual freedom, without the hindrance, discomfort or expense of glasses or contacts."

Many people could enjoy clear vision without the need for glasses or contacts after laser eye surgery. However, fear of the procedure or uncertainty about the right technology often holds them back. Instead, they continue relying on glasses or contacts, solutions from past centuries.

At Laser Vision SA, we’re dedicated to making you feel comfortable as you explore laser eye surgery. Countless patients have shared that the procedure was quicker and more comfortable than they expected—and the results were life-changing. You could experience the same.

Our passion is helping patients achieve their best possible vision. I use advanced techniques like SMILE, LASIK, PRK, and laser clear lens extraction to help people break free from the frustrations of glasses or contacts.

Dr. Fraenkel underwent highly successful SMILE vision correction for monovision in 2014, and to this day, he continues to enjoy clear distance and close-up vision without the need for glasses or contact lenses. Watch the video to see the procedure in action!
