my doctor Anil Kubaloglu suggested a more suitable laser correction option than I had planned for which I am additionally grateful to him

Very modern clinic (top-of-the-range Relex Smile Pro laser correction machine) with friendly, caring staff, my doctor Anil Kubaloglu suggested a more suitable laser correction option than I had planned for which I am additionally grateful to him. The clinic kindly agreed to extend my stay for a day free of charge when I had a flight, provided an extra desk and chair for work. Excellent 3 meals a day.

state-of-the-art equipment staff all my preferences (of which there were many) were taken into account

About Bookimed service

Without bookimed, it would have been an impossible task to get in touch with the clinic and arrange everything exactly as I needed it. That is why I am very grateful to them. A wonderful and free (for the patient) service.

I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic

I would like to mention the professionalism and attentiveness of the consultant Liana - she did a great job! I was also pleasantly surprised by the clinic's service. I was met at the airport at night, picked up from the hotel in the morning and brought to the clinic. Payment was quick and in 20 minutes I was accompanied by an interpreter who was a real professional. In just two hours I had a full examination, and already at 14:00 the operation took place. I bore it easily - I was able to go for a walk in the evening. My eyesight started to improve, although it still takes time to fully stabilise. I am very satisfied and definitely recommend Bookimed and this clinic

The service provided by the counsellor Liana and the quality of the clinic itself

Now, after eye surgery, things are better and I can see much better without glasses

I am Senad Kruesi, a passionate motorcyclist, travelling a lot and riding in the rain, I had a serious accident in Panama. In Vietnam at night and in the rain, a road obstacle and an oncoming traffic light blinded me, my glasses were full of drops.... Now, after eye surgery, things are better and I can see much better without glasses..... This hospital is modern and responsive. Best wishes from Thailand

The service, simply put, everything was perfect

Prof. Dr. Aykan emphasizes the importance of regular eye examinations for early detection of glaucoma, a condition that can progress without symptoms and cause irreversible damage. He utilizes multidiode laser treatments to effectively manage glaucoma, minimizing infection risks and eliminating the need for direct eye intervention, which is particularly advantageous for patients who cannot use medication.
