Pam
Pam was working as a flight attendant and found it difficult to do any reading work without her glasses, which she was always misplacing. At 52, she finally decided to go in for lasik eye surgery so that she would reduce her dependence on glasses. However, she found the surgery in UK expensive.
She researched on the net and decided on Budapest in Hungary. She had a cousin living there, so she saved on hotel bills as well. As a flight attendant, she was able to arrange her schedule so that she could spend a week there – another saving.
She went to the Sopron Elisabeth Hospital and after initial consultations had the surgery which was very fast. And she could see clearly soon after. She saved a total of £1,500.
Gillian Maynard, 43, working as a travel executive in London was fed up with her vision which necessitated her wearing corrective glasses or lenses. She decided to have laser eye surgery, but the cost in UK put her off. She homed in on Turkey.
She went to the Dünya Göz hospital in Istanbul. She found the crowd and the ‘conveyor belt’ approach a bit unsettling and also advises that if you are getting surgery done and combing it with a vacation, it is better to do the sight seeing first and then the surgery.
She also had a fair bit of discomfort after the surgery, an irritated feeling in the eyes and scratchiness which soon went away. She is happy with her vision now. As a package deal it costs around £1,005.

After going through the consultations and talking to the doctors there and seeing the machine, he had his lasik eye surgery done and now does not need glasses for anything.
