DND International Eye Hospital has become the first in Vietnam to deploy SMILE Pro technology, an FDA-approved refractive surgery method.
With this development, the hospital aims to become a destination for international visitors looking to 'combine travel with refractive eye surgery'.
Vietnam is becoming a popular destination for health tourism. In comparison to nations such as the US and Japan, the expenses in Vietnam are considerably lower.
While SMILE surgery in the US ranges from $6,000 to $8,000, it costs approximately a third of that price in Vietnam.
Many international travellers are opting to combine tourism with myopia surgery. The surgery is safe, quick, and offers a short recovery period, making it ideal during travel, stated DND International Eye Hospital.
At DND International Eye Hospital, a pre-surgery eye examination takes about two hours, and the surgery itself lasts only 15-20 minutes. Patients can even complete an exam and surgery in a single day.
After a 24-hour post-surgery check, patients can continue exploring Vietnam.
DND International Eye Hospital also offers Lasik surgery and is equipped with diagnostic tools and laser machines.
These include the VISUMAX 800 laser with SMILE Pro technology and the Femto LDV Z8 from Ziemer, both FDA-certified.
SMILE Pro's 2mm incision is instrumental in correcting refractive errors quickly while minimising risks and promoting fast recovery.
A team of ophthalmologists, boasting over three decades of experience within the hospital, are claimed to be 'pioneers' in SMILE technology.
The hospital also provides round-the-clock support for patients both pre-and post-surgery.
DND International Eye Hospital offers an examination process that consists of eight steps adhering to international standards.
This process includes various evaluations to ensure safe surgical procedures and results tailored to each patient's specific needs, according to the hospital.
The hospital provides periodic post-surgery checkups free of cost to ensure ongoing health monitoring.
