CXL in Pakistan

Postby naveed » Sun 16 Nov 2008 1:39 pm


I am planning for a CXL treatment ... In Pakistan they are doing CXL for about 250 each eye ....I want to know ....

Is it same as in U.K or is it beeter in U.K

I have been told that surgeon has very little to do and its the same machine they use anywhere in world.

I live alone in U.K and would prefer Pakistan as my family will be there .

Please give advise .

thanks

I know that this must be frustrating for you, but I am afraid that we are just not in a postion to offer any advice on the cost or quality of care in Pakistan.

If you do decide to go ahead with this surgery, I know that everyone here will support you in the decision you make, and hope for a successful outcome.

All the best.

Thanks Andrew but what I am trying to know is that does CXL differs with different surgeons or does it remain same where ever you get it done .

Where is the cheapest CXL you can get it done in london ........ and isthere any difference in going for expensive one

thanks
