1 year ago I had my eyes operated on in this practice. Still very happy with the result. My glasses have now been replaced by sunglasses.
Tuni Tuni, 17 Jul 2020
I didn't understand why they hurry. It’s like they’re going to miss the train. They are looking to take your money, and get you cleared ASAP. I'm not sure if Dr. Ilieva deserves his place.
Gert Stevens, 08 Apr 2020
I had wanted to get rid of my glasses for a long time, but several eye doctors said that my eyes could not be operated on. Then someone recommended Dr. Vryghem to me. Now I am off my glasses and I hav

Lorena Crismer, 05 Sep 2019
Dr. Van Winden is a real ray of sunshine, we would go home just to get out of there in a good mood. They are very pro, first an optician first checks your eyesight and tension, then the Dr. does a clo

Welleda Muller, 20 Mar 2019
The team is very professional and they reassured me by phone because I had eyes that stung even several days after the operation. I was quickly received to check that everything was fine. Dr. Vryghem

Professional team and good follow-up of the patient. Fast and efficient operation. No complaints.
Mav eric, 24 Jan 2019
No-frills and no-fuss. We have been going for a few years now and its always rather rushed and impersonal, which is perhaps typical of Brussels ophthalmologists/surgeons. Advantage is that staff speak
Lyoubomir Ivanov, 22 Jan 2019
Factory slot, classy, expensive and inefficient.Three prescriptions that had to be modified by Dr. Deconinck or Dr. Elens, and even Pearl's optician did better!Error booking at the hospital, already p

I am very satisfied with this operation of the eyes. Appointment was quick. Wait a little long before the operation, but super fast operation. Friendly staff.

Best ophthalmologist practice I ever visited.I have had problems with my eyes since childhood. Here I was helped in a professional way. Everything was well explained in a way that I understood it.Dr.
Valerio Vismara, 23 Oct 2018
I confirm what is written in a previous comment.You pay 70 euros for a 10 minutes consultation and they make you feel like if you are wasting their time. If you make any question to better understand
Sacha Milcamp, 11 Oct 2018
Execrable cabinet! The people at the reception are rude (rude and seem to disturb).The Doctor (Dr. Ilieva) is incompetent, rude and mocking our problems.Firm only interested in money.IT'S A SHAME !!!!
nadine michiels, 01 Sep 2018
Very nice reception, dear secretaries, doctor very professional and efficient !!! Recommended.
Myrto Bletsa, 13 Jun 2018
Would not recommend at all. Staff and doctor are too busy, you feel like you are annoying them with your questions and for being there. A patient deserves more than a quick consultation of 10 minutes.
Kimley Vong, 08 Jun 2018
Helped very professionally. Pleasant doctor who will prepare time for you for any questions. Lasik surgery worked very well and never had any complaints afterwards.
Thomas Danthine, 06 Mar 2018
Personally, I do not recommend.And I speak knowingly because I had to be reoperated - certainly for free - after a first imperfect eye operation ... and that the second operation was not a full succes

Risk-Free What you need to know about Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK) in Antwerp
LASIK (laser in situ keratomileuses), commonly referred to as laser eye surgery, is a type of refractive eye surgery to correct vision issues. The procedure reshapes the cornea in order to allow light that enters the eye to be properly focused onto the retina for better and clearer vision. It is mainly performed to treat hyperopia (farsightedness), myopia (nearsightedness), and astigmatism. In some cases, LASIK may also be performed on people with mild to moderate cases of refractive errors.
LASIK surgery is basically pain-free and quick. The results enable you to have improved vision eyeglasses or contact lenses. The procedure can be performed on people between the ages of 21 and 40. Sometimes, people over 40 years old can also undergo this procedure.
It is important to be aware that LASIK is not for everyone. There are some cases where patients are not recommended to undergo the procedure, particularly those with keratoconus, immune system disorders, large pupils, advanced glaucoma, eye issues caused by diabetes, past ocular herpes infection, autoimmune disorders, and dry eyes. Make sure to consult with your eye doctor before considering undergoing this type of surgery.
Before LASIK, you may have nearsightedness, farsightedness, or astigmatism and you are probably dependent on eyeglasses or contact lenses. Wearing either eyeglasses or contact lenses limits your activities. After LASIK, you can have a clear vision and live an active lifestyle, such as participating in sports. The procedure will significantly improve your quality of life.
What's the Recovery Time for Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK) Procedures in Antwerp?
During the day of the procedure, you may experience hazy or blurry vision. However, your vision will improve over the next couple of days after the procedure. If your job is not physically demanding, you should be able to go back to work within 2-3 weeks after the procedure. Your eyes will continue to heal and improve for about 6 months after LASIK. It is important to follow all aftercare instructions from your healthcare provider to minimize complications and accelerate the healing process.
What's the Success Rate of Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK) Procedures in Antwerp?
LASIK offers a very high success rate. Studies revealed that 95% of patients with nearsightedness can achieve 20/25 vision following their surgery. More than 8 out of 10 people who’ve had :ASIK surgery no longer need glasses or contact lenses in their daily activities.
The results you will get depend on several factors, including your specific refractive error. Those with low degree nearsightedness usually achieve the most successful result. The results are less predictable on people with high degree farsightedness or nearsightedness, along with astigmatism.
Some LASIK patients require a second surgery for enhancement because the surgery results led to an under-correction. In some very rare cases, some people’s eyes can slowly return to the level of vision they had before surgery due to certain conditions, such as another eye problem, abnormal wound healing, and hormonal imbalances.
LASIK also carries some risks that you need to be aware of, including dry eyes, glare, double vision, halos, under-corrections, overcorrections, flap problems, astigmatism, regression, vision loss, and vision changes. Make sure to talk to your eye doctor about the risks.
