Discover the Best Laser eye surgery Clinics in Vienna: 2 Verified Options and Prices

The Bookimed clinic ranking is based on data science algorithms, providing a trusted, transparent, and objective comparison. It takes into account patient demand, review scores (both positive and negative), the frequency of updates to treatment options and prices, response speed, and clinic certifications.
Day 1: Arrival in Austria
  • Upon landing in Austria, you should ensure you have all necessary documents. These include your passport, visa (if required), and any medical records related to your eye condition.
  • Arrive at your pre-booked accommodation and settle in. You need to rest and acclimatize to the local time zone to be well-rested for the upcoming procedures.
  • Confirm your consultation appointment with the clinic. It's crucial to note the exact date and time to avoid confusion.
  • If you have any immediate questions or concerns, contact your clinic coordinator. They are your primary point of contact and can assist with logistical or medical inquiries.
Day 2: Initial Consultation and Examination
  • Attend your scheduled consultation at the clinic. During this session, a thorough examination of your eyes will be conducted. Tests may include corneal topography, pachymetry, and wavefront analysis.
  • The professor will perform a repeat examination to confirm the initial diagnosis and discuss potential treatment options. This ensures the most suitable laser eye surgery procedure is selected for your specific needs.
  • Common procedures discussed may include LASIK, PRK, or SMILE. Each has distinct advantages depending on your eye condition.
  • Use this opportunity to ask any questions about the procedure, recovery time, and expected outcomes. Understanding the process will help alleviate anxiety.
  • Ensure you follow any pre-surgery instructions provided by the medical team, such as avoiding contact lenses or certain medications.
Day 3: Pre-Surgery Preparation
  • Follow any dietary or lifestyle recommendations provided by the clinic to prepare for the surgery. This may include fasting or avoiding alcohol.
  • Ensure you have a reliable mode of transportation arranged for the day of the surgery, as you will not be able to drive afterward.
  • Prepare comfortable clothing for the surgery day. You need to be relaxed and at ease during the procedure.
  • Contact the clinic if you have any last-minute questions or need clarification on the pre-surgery instructions.
Day 4: Surgery Day
  • Arrive at the clinic at the designated time. Bring a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from light sensitivity post-surgery.
  • The surgery itself is typically quick, often lasting less than 30 minutes. The specific procedure, whether LASIK, PRK, or SMILE, will be performed using advanced laser technology.
  • After the surgery, you will spend some time in recovery at the clinic. The medical team will monitor you to ensure there are no immediate complications.
  • Receive post-operative care instructions. These will include the use of prescribed eye drops to prevent infection and reduce inflammation.
  • Ensure you have arranged for someone to accompany you back to your accommodation, as your vision will be blurry immediately after the procedure.
Day 5: Post-Surgery Follow-Up
  • Attend a follow-up appointment at the clinic to assess the success of the surgery and ensure proper healing.
  • The doctor will check for any signs of infection or complications and may adjust your post-operative care plan accordingly.
  • Continue using prescribed medications as directed and follow any additional lifestyle recommendations, such as avoiding strenuous activities.
  • Contact the clinic if you experience any unusual symptoms, such as severe pain or vision loss.
Day 6: Recovery and Relaxation
  • Focus on rest and recovery. Avoid activities that may strain your eyes, such as reading or screen time, for extended periods.
  • Wear protective eyewear as instructed, especially when outdoors, to shield your eyes from dust and UV rays.
  • Maintain hydration and a healthy diet to support the healing process.
  • Keep in touch with the clinic for any additional follow-up appointments or if you have concerns about your recovery progress.
Day 7: Departure from Austria
  • Ensure you have all necessary documentation from the clinic regarding your surgery and follow-up care.
  • Pack all medications and eye care products provided by the clinic for your journey home.
  • Plan your travel back home, considering any recommendations from the clinic regarding air travel post-surgery.
  • Keep the clinic's contact information handy in case you need to reach out for advice once you return home.

I liked the doctor
I didn’t like the moment that we were eventually recorded to another doctor. I liked the doctor, but we did not have an examination, that is, only a consultation, in general I did not get exactly what I wanted. Lor did not like it at all, did not receive any new information from him, was not happy with the translator, most of what we said he did not know and did not translate

Everything was fine
Everything was fine. Bookimed was very kind to find me an appointment pretty short notice in Vienna. The surgent was very professional. The only thing I would have preferred was to pay with a credit card. I had to go to an ATM and pay cash.

I was very pleased with everything at the clinic and the coordinator Mariana Zaiarna. The overall good impression was ruined by mr. Roman.
