Only 45 minutes from Vienna – Why Austrians come to Bratislava

Why travel far when world-class eye care is right next door? Bratislava is only 45 minutes from Vienna, making it a convenient option for Austrians looking for expert eye surgery without the high costs. At VESELY Eye Clinic, we offer treatments that meet the same medical standards as top Austrian clinics—but at a more affordable price. You’ll be seen by experienced, German-speaking professionals who understand your needs and speak your language. Our patients from Austria appreciate the ease of travel, shorter waiting times, and personalised attention. If you’re ready to say goodbye to glasses and reading aids, Bratislava might be the best-kept secret just across the border.

With over 80 years of experience, VESELY Eye Clinic is a name generations have trusted. Founded in 1939, we’re now run by the third generation of eye specialists in the Veselý family. What sets us apart isn’t just our history—it’s our people. You won’t feel like a number here. We take the time to understand your story, your lifestyle, and your goals. Our modern, welcoming clinic in the heart of Bratislava blends tradition with innovation, offering high-end care in a calm, patient-focused environment. Our clinic is a training centre for the entire EMEA region and part of the compulsory university training programme, ensuring our surgeons stay at the forefront of the latest advances. Whether you’re worried, curious, or ready to act, we’re here to guide you with care, clarity, and compassion.

At VESELY, we offer the most advanced eye surgeries available today. For those tired of glasses or contact lenses, our laser treatments include iLASIK, SILK, PRK, and LASEK—each tailored to different eye types and lifestyles. If you’re over 40 and struggling with reading glasses, we also specialise in Refractive Lens Exchange (RLE)—a long-term solution for age-related vision changes. Every eye is different, and so is every treatment. That’s why we start with a detailed assessment to find the best procedure for your unique needs. Our goal? To give you clear, comfortable vision—so you can focus on what really matters in life.

3 easy steps to free yourself from glasses and contacts

Laser eye surgery options can feel overwhelming. We’ve made it simple

Step 1:

GET IN TOUCH

The first step is to find out if you’re suitable. Not everyone is a match for laser eye surgery, so it’s important to get the facts first.

Use our easy calendar to book an appointment.

Step 2:

WE’LL MEET

At your appointment, we’ll carry out detailed tests to understand your eyes and your lifestyle.

We’ll explain everything clearly and give you a personalised recommendation. You’ll leave knowing exactly what to expect — and whether laser eye surgery is right for you.

Step 3:

ENJOY FREEDOM

Afterwards, you’ll start to see the difference. Most people mention that they wish they had done it years earlier! When people say yes to eye treatment, they say yes to a new life, free from the limitation of glasses and contacts!

Tired of your glasses holding you back?

If so, laser eye surgery could be the step that changes everything

Always missing out because of your glasses?

Your glasses feel like a ball and chain. They fog up during sport, get dirty in the rain, and vanish right when you need them. It's a constant limitation. Booking an appointment could be your first step toward a life where your eyes are always ready—no more delays, no more searching.

Feeling stuck and less confident than your friends?

You know people who’ve already done it—got rid of their glasses and now see better than ever. You envy their freedom, their ease. Taking the self test might show you that you’re ready too. You just needed the nudge.

Living life behind a lens?

Your everyday life is filled with squinting, cleaning, swapping, and adjusting. It gets tiring. By booking an appointment, you open the door to a life where vision just works—so you can finally focus on what matters: sport, travel, friends, and being active.

I came, I saw – and now I see even better. In 2012, I decided to undergo laser surgery at the VESELY Eye Clinic – the best decision of my life. I will be forever grateful to the clinic team, especially MUDr. Veselý, for the excellent process, the great approach, and the fantastic result!

Eyes are the gateway to the soul. But when you need vision correction surgery, you must trust your doctor and look into their soul through their knowledge, skills, and expertise. VESELY Eye Clinic, thank you for my great vision once again. #iLASIK

Als ich anfing zu blinzeln, sagte ich mir, es liegt wohl am Blutdruck. 🙂 Als ich aufhörte, Gegenstände zu sehen, sagte ich mir: Es liegt wohl am Alter. 🙂 Aber als ich die Welt um mich herum nicht mehr sehen konnte, war ich traurig. Ich bin glücklich, dass ich die Welt so sehen kann, wie sie wirklich ist – ob gut oder schlecht. Besuchen Sie einfach VESELY | Augenklinik, so wie ich, und die Welt wird viel fröhlicher! 🙂 Danke, und ich bereue nichts! :))))

Es ist eine tolle Klinik, ich habe noch nie so ein großartiges und professionelles Personal erlebt – sowohl Ärzte als auch Krankenschwestern. Vielen Dank für die Betreuung in der Klinik in Poprad.

Ich war mit dem gesamten Ablauf – einschließlich der präoperativen Beratung, Untersuchungen, dem eigentlichen Eingriff und der Nachsorge – äußerst und, ich muss sagen, über die Erwartungen hinaus zufrieden. Der Eingriff verlief genau wie erwartet – völlig schmerzfrei und innerhalb weniger Sekunden abgeschlossen.

I underwent a procedure for primary glaucoma at your clinic under the surgical team led by Dr. Erika Vodrážková. I consider the procedure to have been highly professional. Many thanks to Dr. Vodrážková and the clinic’s management.
