Costs incurred by having laser eye treatment abroad
Prospective patients tend to be drawn to the websites of laser eye surgery providers abroad because of their very low prices. Unfortunately, what many patients do not consider is that, ultimately, the cost of the actual laser eye surgery itself only makes up a fraction of the total costs to be paid.
Most health insurance policies are not valid abroad. Although in the UK, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Turkey you cover the cost of laser eye treatment yourself, it’s a good idea to be insured should complications arise. Additional insurance of this kind costs between 60 and 150 euros.
Depending on the length of your stay abroad, it may be necessary to find accommodation. Sometimes you may be required to stay for up to two weeks. If you are having your laser eye surgery in the UK, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic or Turkey, you should budget around 125 euros per night for a room in a high-quality hotel.
If performed in the UK, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic or Turkey, at least two follow-up appointments will be required following the eye surgery itself. These will incur additional costs for accommodation, insurance and travel etc.
How high the respective travel costs will be for laser eye surgery in the UK, Spain, Poland, Lithuania, Croatia, Hungary, Slovakia, the Czech Republic or Turkey is entirely dependent on where you would like to be treated and how far that is from where you currently live. A bus, train or flight ticket to London can often amount to more than a hundred pounds or euros. Even travelling by car is problematic, as you will be unable to drive straight after your laser eye surgery abroad. The travel costs hit twice as hard when you realise you have to factor in the return journey, too.
When you have laser eye surgery abroad, you have to stay there for a certain amount of time and the journey itself takes time, too. Sometimes this means that you are forced to take unpaid leave.

A thorough initial consultation lays the foundation for successful laser eye surgery. During this initial consultation, we will discuss your personal needs and ascertain the current condition of your eyes. On this basis, we decide which treatment is the most suitable for you: Trans-PRK, for example.
This is the opportunity for you to ask any questions you may have about the treatment and the next stages of the process. Our highly-qualified ophthalmologists from Vienna will be pleased to take the time to advise you. At the end of the consultation, you can decide whether or not you would like to have your laser eye surgery at the SmartLaser Laser Eye Centre in Vienna.
On the day of your procedure, final preparations will be made and any remaining questions will be answered. To ensure that you do not experience any pain during or after the operation, you will be given anaesthetic eye drops. The exact treatment process depends on the type of laser eye surgery performed.
The procedure takes around 30 minutes in total, while the laser itself is only in use for a few moments. Most patients are surprised by how quick and pain-free laser eye surgery is.
Soon after your surgery (depending on the procedure type), you should attend your post-operative review. During this short appointment, the bandage contact lens will be removed and your doctor will assess the progress of the healing process and the results.
If you have any questions about the next steps of the process, we will answer them for you. Where necessary, you will be informed about further steps to take to promote the healing process. Over the next few days and weeks (at the latest), you will begin to experience the full benefits of your newfound eyesight.
The follow-up appointment is your last appointment and the final stage of your journey to a life free from visual defects. Your eyes should now be completely healed. Your SmartLaser expert will assess this and discuss the end results with you.
You can now say goodbye to visual aids like glasses and contact lenses for good and enjoy crisp, clear vision!
