Myths and Facts About Medical Tourism to Istanbul. Crazy or Smart? <\/p>\n\n

Myths and Facts About Medical Tourism to Istanbul. Crazy or Smart? <\/p>\n\n

Myth: You can never be sure about the quality in Istanbul! And what about hygiene standards?
Fact: Our eye laser clinic holds international certification, guaranteeing quality in every aspect.<\/p>\n\n

Myth: Swiss doctors surely have more experience!
Fact: The doctors at the clinic have performed over 20,000 surgeries in the past 10 years and are internationally trained. No local eye laser clinic has such a high number of surgeries and the associated experience. <\/p>\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n

Myth: Abroad, it’s just mass production!
Fact: To ensure enough time for each patient, the clinic accepts only a limited number of patients per day.<\/p>\n\n

Myth: The equipment is not new and was bought on the second-hand market!
Fact: The clinic owns the fastest eye laser equipment in the world, the Allegretto Wave Eye-Q with 400 Hz. When the machine was released, the clinic was one of the first in the world to have one. <\/p>\n\n

Myth: How can you even communicate? I don’t speak Turkish!
Fact: There is always someone in the clinic who speaks fluent German.<\/p>\n\n

Myth: There are definitely more complications abroad than in Switzerland.
Fact: There is no scientific study to prove this. The success rate in Switzerland is over 90%, and at Swisslasik.ch, it’s even over 95%. <\/p>\n\n

Myth: The number of post-surgeries is higher abroad.
Fact: Only 2% of our patients required a re-operation. Experts in Europe consider a success rate to be high if the re-operation rate is at 10%. <\/p>\n\n

Myth: Offering surgery without prior consultation and follow-up checks is incorrect! Unfortunately, this is often the case with medical tourism.
Fact: We offer both! You can have your eyes pre-examined by our referring doctors before your trip. With our premium offer, you also receive follow-up checks in Switzerland. <\/p>\n\n

Myth: With a second surgery, I have to pay for the trip and surgery again. The cost savings are lost!
Fact: We offer free re-operations in the rare case they are needed, so the savings remain intact.
Fact: The clinic offers a second surgery free of charge. With our premium offer, we also cover your travel costs in the event of a second surgery. <\/p>\n\n

Myth: What? You’re getting your eyes lasered in Turkey? Are you crazy?
Fact: Please read the testimonials of satisfied patients<\/a>. You can form your own opinion on whether it’s “crazy” or “smart.” <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
