Henock’s HSE Reimbursed Cataracts Surgery in Spain

“My vision had been getting worse for a long time, but in the last few years it became very bad. I’ve been living and working in Kilkenny for years but it got to the point where I couldn’t see properly anymore and I had to stop working.”

“I was on a waiting list in Ireland for cataracts surgery, but I felt like I was waiting too long while my eyesight was getting worse and worse. I knew I had to make a decision, so I contacted Healthcare Abroad. Honestly, it was the right decision.”

Smooth Sailing in Spain

“As soon as I arrived in Valencia, everything was organised for me. I had my checks done in the morning and my first cataracts surgery the same day. I was treated at Vithas Valencia Hospital, and the care I received from Dr Garfella and Dr Montero was outstanding. They made me feel comfortable, answered all my questions, and gave me complete confidence.”

“When I woke up the next day and opened my eyes, I could see clearly again. It was an incredible feeling. I had my second eye done the following day, and everything went perfectly. Paul from the Healthcare Abroad team also helped me arrange a loan through the Credit Union, which meant I could cover the cost of treatment without delay. That support made a huge difference.”

Looking to the future

“From the airport pickup to the hospital staff, everyone was so kind, professional, and supportive. I felt completely looked after. Now I can see clearly again. I can drive, I can work, and I feel like I am born again.”
