Cataract and lens surgery patients who travel tend to be older, careful planners. They want to know how many days they need, whether both eyes are treated on one trip, what lens options cost, and when it’s safe to fly home.
This guide covers how to present that plan. At the end, we explain how our referral network works.
- Patients plan around the number of days and whether both eyes fit in one trip.
- Price lens options separately and explain the differences in plain language.
- Put the follow-up schedule and flight guidance in writing before they book.
- No cost during our launch period: if your clinic already works this way, apply to our network in about five minutes.
One eye or both, and how far apart
Whether both eyes are treated on the same trip, and how many days apart, is your surgeon’s decision for each patient. What the patient needs is your usual approach, stated early, so they can plan the length of their stay. If a second trip may be needed, say so up front.
Lens options, priced separately
Patients often learn about premium lenses for the first time from a quote. List each lens type you offer with a plain-language description of what it’s for (distance, near, astigmatism correction) and its price in USD, so the patient can compare like with like.
Follow-up and the flight home
Provide a written schedule of post-op visits, the drops and precautions the patient needs, and your guidance on when they can fly. Give them a discharge summary in English for their eye doctor at home.
Our network: how we send you patients
If your clinic already works this way, or wants to, you can receive patients through our network. EyeSurgery.co is part of a network of English-language guides for patients researching treatment abroad, many of them considering Colombia.
- A patient contacts usThey read our guides and tell us about their case through our form or WhatsApp.
- We check and assignWe confirm the procedure, dates, budget and records. If the case is complete and fits your clinic, we send it to you.
- Your clinic quotesYour coordinator contacts the patient in English, with a price in USD. The medical and commercial relationship is between you and the patient.
Each case goes to one clinic at a time. If your clinic can’t take it or doesn’t reply within one business day, it goes to another approved partner.
