What should a patient pay attention to choosing top ophthalmology hospital?

  • Accreditation. An important criterion in choosing a medical institution is its compliance with international standards. Appropriate certificates guarantee high-quality treatment and patient care. It is necessary to find out if the medical center you are interested in, has a license to provide the medical services that you need.

Best eye hospitals in the world usually have 2 worldwide known accreditations of medical institutions:

  • JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation;
  • International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
  • Specialists. The success and effectiveness of treatment depend mainly on the qualifications of the doctor.

When you choose a clinic, take notice if there are such specialists who can provide highly qualified help in the treatment of your disease.

  • Equipment. Best ophthalmology hospitals in the world are equipped with all necessary technologies for the highest accuracy of the treatment.

Where can you find the best eye treatment in the world?

The most common and the most effective type of ophthalmology treatments is laser surgery LASIK. Ophthalmologists of medical centers in Germany, Turkey, India and Israel perform this type of laser surgery with a success rate up to 95%.

What are the advantages of the LASIK vision correction?

The benefits of the vision correction with LASIK are:

  • The surgery is safe. Best ophthalmologists observe patients for a long time before and after the procedure. Observing helps doctors to prevent complications after the laser surgery.
  • Suitable for treatment of all types of visual impairment. If a patient has no contraindications, then laser correction can restore vision almost at all the most common degrees of myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism,
  • Suitable for patients of any age. Patients aged 18 to 55 are the optimal candidates for this procedure.
  • The quickness of operating. The operating time of the laser surgery takes a few seconds - 1 minute. The rest of the time is spent on preoperative procedures and takes 10 minutes per eye.
  • The absence of pain at all stages of the operation. The ophthalmologists instill anesthetic drops in the eyes, which block pain sensitivity. A patient has only a feeling of pressure at some stages of the surgery.
  • The procedure is performed on an outpatient basis. Within an hour after the operation, a patient may come home.
  • Quick recovery of vision. 2 hours after the operation a patient can evaluate the first results of laser correction of vision. During 1 week, vision is stabilized.
  • Longevity of the operation results. After the laser correction of vision, the shape of the cornea persists for whole life. If a patient does not have progressive myopia, the result of the operation remains for many years.
