Risks & exceptions
Medical risk
Every treatment carries risks, assessed and explained by the hospital and attending physicians. We take no part in medical decisions.
Scheduling risk
Hospital schedules may change; the hospital’s final confirmation prevails.
Cost risk
Actual charges may differ from the reference range; the hospital’s charges on the day prevail.
Documents risk
Incomplete documents prolong the evaluation; their completeness is the client’s responsibility.
Findings risk
Examinations may find conditions needing further care; when that happens we help move you into the relevant pathway.
FAQ
Is a multifocal lens always better?
Not necessarily — it depends on your eyes and visual habits; decided together with the hospital.
Will I still need glasses afterwards?
We make no promises about going glasses-free. Post-operative vision is explained by the hospital at consultation.
Can both eyes be done at once?
The hospital decides according to clinical practice; we only coordinate scheduling.
