Crosslinking for keratoconus: effect & benefitsEye healthComing from abroad? Your questions.
Can Dr. Kanal tell me in advance whether I am suitable, before I travel?
Yes. In a remote assessment you tell us about your eyes and your current values, and Dr. Kanal tells you whether a treatment is realistic for you. If the answer is no, you do not travel. The final decision is always made at the examination in Germany.
How many times do I need to come to Germany?
Usually one visit is enough. You stay a few days: the examination, the treatment and the first check take place during the same stay. How many days you need depends on the treatment — for laser treatment usually three, for lens surgery sometimes a little longer. We tell you the exact plan before you book anything.
Which surgical centre do I go to?
All five are our surgical centres, and Dr. Kanal and his team operate at each of them. Choose the one that is easier to reach: Wiesbaden or Frankfurt via Frankfurt Airport; Düsseldorf, Cologne or Leverkusen via Düsseldorf or Cologne Bonn Airport. Examination and treatment take place in the same centre. Our other seven clinics are for local check-ups.
Do you speak English? Are the documents in English?
Yes. Consultation, treatment and all written documents — report, invoice and drops plan — are available in English as well as German. If you need another language, tell us in advance.
How do I pay, and will my insurer accept the invoice?
After the examination you receive a written quote. After treatment you receive an itemised invoice according to the German fee schedule (GOÄ), which private insurers and many national schemes accept for reimbursement. Ask your insurer beforehand what they cover.
What happens with the follow-up checks when I am back home?
After you return home, your routine eye examinations continue with your local eye doctor. You take a written report from us with the treatment details and the checks we recommend, in English or German. If anything is unclear or your eyes feel different, contact us: we are reachable by WhatsApp and e-mail and, if needed, speak to your doctor directly.
Who performs the operations?
Dr. med. Levent Kanal and his team perform the operations at all five surgical centres — laser, lens and cataract surgery. The examination before and the first check after take place in the same centre.
Which airport should I fly to?
For Wiesbaden and Frankfurt: Frankfurt Airport (FRA) — about 35 km to Wiesbaden, 40 minutes by S-Bahn; about 12 km to Frankfurt city centre, 15 minutes by S-Bahn. For Düsseldorf: Düsseldorf Airport (DUS), about 7 km, 15 minutes by taxi or S-Bahn. For Cologne and Leverkusen: Cologne Bonn Airport (CGN), 15–25 minutes by S-Bahn or taxi; Düsseldorf Airport also works, about one hour by train.
