Benefits of Eye Surgery Abroad


Cost of treatment

Surgery abroad can be more affordable than in the UK and save you thousands of pounds.

Quality of Treatment

Private treatment abroad can be of a quality matching British clinics or even superior.  Further, there is no reason why treatment abroad cannot be as safe as treatment within the UK.  If you are considering treatment abroad, you must thoroughly research clinics and hospitals.  Each country will have its own professional regulatory body and educational system, backed by research and development. 

Holiday combined with treatment

Why not combine your treatment with a holiday.  This may make the cost of flight and accommodation less of a concern and you will be able to relax and prepare yourself for treatment and recover at your own pace and in comfort.  Remember that holiday packages can be advantageous but should not distract you from the main objective of travelling, which is the treatment itself.

British hospital waiting lists

Unless you have private health insurance, which covers the treatment you require, you may be placed on a long NHS waiting list.  Even private clinics may take time to fit your treatment in.  However abroad, you may be able to be treated quite promptly. 

Prevalence of MRSA

This is still a huge concern in British hospitals and can easily be avoided by travelling to a country where the prevalence of MRSA is more controlled.
