Eye Treatments in Italy
Lasik Laser Eye Surgery
LAASIK (PRONOUNCED 'lasik') is a refractive surgical procedure using an excimer laser to reshape the cornea, thereby reducing or eliminating nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. By altering the shape of the cornea, light entering the eye focuses directly on the retina for improved vision.
In Italy:
LASIK (Latest Advanced Short-sighted Keratomileusis) is a laser eye surgery that reshapes corneal tissue to improve visual acuity and reduce or eliminate myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism. In Italy, LASIK is widely available in major cities with advanced technology and skilled ophthalmologists.
Additional:
Italy's healthcare system offers universal coverage, but LASIK may not be fully covered. Patients should check their insurance plans for coverage details. Waiting time can vary from 1 to 3 weeks for a consultation.
