Lens replacement: How same-day surgery works at our hospital

Lens replacement surgery is a life-changing procedure that helps people see clearly again—especially those struggling with age-related vision changes like presbyopia or early cataracts. But what if you could go from assessment to surgery in a single day?

At our hospital, we’re proud to be the only facility in Bosnia offering same-day lens replacement. That means patients can have their pre-op consultation and surgery all in one visit. It’s fast, safe, and incredibly convenient.

Here’s how it works.

Step 1: Suitability Assessment

It all starts with a short suitability self-test.This quick questionnaire helps us understand your vision goals and whether lens replacement may be right for you.

If you're a potential candidate, our team contacts you to schedule a same-day assessment and surgery slot—saving you weeks of waiting.

Step 2: Arrival and In-Hospital Consultation

When you arrive at the hospital, our team welcomes you and conducts a detailed pre-operative assessment. This includes:

• A full vision exam
• Eye measurements
• Health checks
• A discussion about your lifestyle and lens preferences

You’ll meet your surgeon and have plenty of time to ask questions and feel confident before moving forward.

Step 3: Personalised Lens Selection

Based on your eye measurements and visual needs, we help you choose the most suitable intraocular lens (IOL):

• Monofocal lenses (distance only)
• Multifocal lenses (distance + near)
• Toric lenses (correct astigmatism)

We explain the benefits of each and guide you to the best option for your vision and lifestyle.

Step 4: Surgery the Same Day

Once everything is confirmed, you’re prepared for surgery that same afternoon. The procedure usually takes less than 20 minutes per eye and is performed under local anaesthesia.

You’re awake but comfortable, and our staff is by your side at every step.

Step 5: Going Home

You’ll rest briefly in our recovery area before going home with a friend or family member. Most people experience noticeable improvements in vision within 24–48 hours.

You’ll return for a follow-up check within a few days.
