Laser Eye Surgery Procedures

Laser eye surgery is practiced throughout the globe and is growing in popularity on a vast scale. This is driving new clinics to open and competition to become fierce.  This, coupled with increased accessibility to information about foreign clinics, is tempting a huge number of Britons to travel abroad for refractive eye surgery, as well as other eye procedures including eyelid surgery. Elective procedures and cosmetic procedures often entail large financial commitment and travelling abroad can make these more affordable.  This is often what drives people to travel thousands of miles for medical treatment.   

Advantages of having eye surgery abroad (Hungary):

-    it can be more affordable than in the UK (approx. 50% less in Hungary)

-    the quality of treatment abroad is just as good as anywhere else if not higher. Hungary has

     its own professional body and educational system, backed by research and development.

-    You can combine the treatment with a holiday. The flight cost and accommodation might

     make the expected price a bit higher but you can relax and prepare yourself for treatment and

     recover in comfort.

-    In Hungary private patients are seen promptly while e.g. in the UK you are placed on a long

     NHS waiting list.

-    Prevalence of MRSA is more controlled
