Do expats travel to Bosnia for LASIK?
If you live abroad and are considering LASIK, you may be wondering whether it’s worth travelling to Bosnia for surgery. The answer for many expats is yes.
More and more people living outside Bosnia — from Europe, the UK, the USA, and beyond — are choosing to come here for their laser vision correction.
In this blog, we’ll explain why Bosnia has become a trusted destination for LASIK, what the experience is like for expats, and why our hospital is uniquely positioned to offer same-day surgery that makes the trip easier and more efficient.
Why expats choose Bosnia for LASIK
1. High-quality medical care
Bosnia offers excellent medical care with highly trained ophthalmologists, advanced technology, and strict safety protocols. Many of our surgeons have international experience and training.
2. Affordable pricing
One of the most common reasons expats come to Bosnia for LASIK is the cost. LASIK at our hospital starts from €900 per eye — a fraction of what you might pay in Western Europe or the US.
The price includes your consultation, surgery, and follow-up care. There are no hidden fees.
3. Shorter wait times
In many countries, there are long wait lists for vision correction procedures. At our hospital, patients can typically be seen and treated within days — not months.
Same-Day LASIK surgery: A unique offering
We are the the only hospital in Bosnia offering same-day LASIK surgery.This is ideal for expats who are visiting for a short time.
Here’s what that means:
- You can have your full pre-operative consultation and the LASIK procedure on the same day.
- There’s no need for multiple visits or a long stay.
- You return home the next day — with better vision.
What the process looks like for expats
Before Your Trip:
- Take our online self-test to check your suitability.
- Our team reviews your answers and gives you an initial recommendation.
- If you qualify, we help you plan your travel and schedule your appointment.
On the Day:
- You arrive at our hospital in the morning.
- You undergo a detailed pre-operative consultation.
- If you are suitable, your LASIK procedure takes place that same day.
After Surgery:
- You rest for a few hours, and return for a post-op check the next day.
- You are then free to travel home, often with improved vision already noticeable.
Is it safe to travel after LASIK?
Yes. Most patients are able to fly the day after surgery, once they’ve had their post-operative check. We give you full aftercare instructions and are always available for remote follow-up if needed.
