Nationaal Oogcentrum

What Nationaal Oogcentrum does

Nationaal Oogcentrum is a privately held Dutch ophthalmology clinic headquartered in Naarden, approximately 15–20 minutes from Amsterdam, operating as a BV (besloten vennootschap). It specializes in refractive vision correction, offering four laser eye surgery modalities (LASEK, TransPRK, IntraLASIK, and the Netherlands-only CLEAR procedure using Femto LDV Z8 laser technology) and a full range of lens implantation options including monofocal, EDOF, trifocal, premium Galaxy Spiral, and phakic ICL/IPCL implants. The clinic markets itself as the only CLEAR provider in the country and among the first Dutch clinics to offer Galaxy Spiral lens implants.

The business operates a direct-to-consumer healthcare model: patients book through WhatsApp, phone, or online forms, undergo a free 1.5-hour preliminary examination, and convert to treatment with no waiting list. Revenue is generated one-time per eye treated, with all-inclusive pricing ranging from approximately €900 to €2,600 per eye (action prices), no VAT applied under Dutch medical exemptions, and an external installment payment option for affordability. Pricing is positioned approximately 10% below competing Dutch clinics, supported by deliberately low overhead from operating a single location and partnering with regional opticians for pre- and post-care. Lifetime warranty on treatments is included.

Nationaal Oogcentrum serves primarily adults aged 18+ seeking freedom from glasses or contact lenses, with a secondary segment of patients over 45 requiring presbyopia or cataract solutions. The clinic claims over 25 years of operational experience, more than 20,000 lifetime treatments performed, and a 4.8/5 Google rating (on a small review base of 8 reviews). All physicians are BIG and AGB registered, members of NOG, NGRC, and ESCRS. The company is independently owned with no disclosed institutional funding.

Core offering

Nationaal Oogcentrum provides ophthalmology services including laser eye surgery and lens implantation for vision correction. The clinic delivers refractive procedures such as LASEK, TransPRK, IntraLASIK, and the Netherlands-exclusive CLEAR laser treatment, alongside lens implantation options including monofocal, EDOF, trifocal, and Galaxy Spiral lenses, ICL-IPCL, and Sulcoflex lenses. All patients receive a free preliminary examination prior to treatment at the Naarden clinic.

Product overview

Nationaal Oogcentrum offers a comprehensive portfolio of eye correction treatments as a single unified service. The core offerings consist of four eye laser treatments (LASEK, TransPRK, IntraLASIK, and CLEAR) and multiple lens implantation options (supplemental lenses like ICL-IPCL and Sulcoflex, plus replacement lenses including Monofocal, EDOF, Trifocal, and Galaxy Spiral). CLEAR is highlighted as the most advanced and the only one of its kind in the Netherlands. The Galaxy Spiral lens represents their latest innovation in lens implantation. Supplementary options include Wavefront personalized treatment and Monovisie. All treatments are preceded by a free preliminary examination. The treatments are designed for different age groups and eye conditions: laser treatments typically for ages 18-45, while lens implantation is recommended for ages 45+.

Products and services

• LASEK eye laser treatment Surface laser eye treatment where the epithelial layer is loosened with an alcohol solution and moved aside before laser correction. Targeted at patients with thin corneas or active lifestyles, and positioned as the most cost-effective laser option.
• TransPRK no-touch laser treatment Fully laser-driven procedure where the epithelium is removed by the laser itself without physical contact, producing precise, predictable outcomes with minimal infection risk.
• IntraLASIK (FemtoLASIK) treatment 100% laser-guided procedure using two lasers to create the corneal flap and perform correction, delivering rapid recovery with 50% vision improvement within 5-6 hours and 100% the next morning.
• CLEAR (Corneal Lenticule Extraction for Advanced Refractive correction) Minimally invasive, flap-free laser technique using the Femto LDV Z8 where correction occurs in the deeper layers via a small opening without removing the surface. Marketed as the most advanced laser eye treatment method globally, with fastest healing and minimal dryness.
• Wavefront personalized laser treatment Personalized laser treatment more precise than standard laser procedures, removing 15-20% less tissue. Suited to patients with significant optical aberrations or cylinders.
• Monovisie laser treatment Reading glass correction approach where one eye is corrected for distance and the other for near vision, allowing both eyes to work together across viewing distances.
• ICL-IPCL implantable phakic contact lens Phakic intraocular lens placed in front of the natural lens for patients with high prescriptions or thin corneas who are not candidates for laser treatment. Fully reversible.
• Sulcoflex supplemental lens implant Supplemental lens implant placed in the sulcus for patients who cannot undergo laser treatment or prefer an alternative refractive approach.
• Monofocal (basic) lens replacement Basic monofocal intraocular lens replacement optimized for sharp vision at one distance (typically distance), with reading or computer glasses still required after surgery.
• EDOF (Extended Depth of Focus) lens implant Extended depth of focus lens providing a smooth transition between distance and intermediate vision with lower sensitivity to halos in darkness compared to multifocal lenses.
• Trifocal lens implant Trifocal replacement lens delivering sharp vision at far, intermediate, and near distances, enabling full glasses-free living for patients over 45.
• Galaxy Spiral lens implant Premium next-generation intraocular lens with a spiral-shaped optical design providing smooth transitions between viewing distances, optimized light distribution, reduced light scattering, and fewer halos compared with classical multifocal lenses.
• Gratis vooronderzoek (Free preliminary examination) Approximately 1.5-hour comprehensive eye examination including refraction, cornea thickness and topography, anterior chamber depth, pupil diameter, eye pressure, and retinal examination, ending with personal treatment advice from the ophthalmologist.
