We are now a few weeks further down the road and the result exceeds all my expectations. Thanks to the treatment, I now have 16/10 vision, no glasses, no contact lenses. No worries, no stress… Read the review #### Kristof J. A stroll by the sea, a sea breeze, and a blink of an eye at the wrong moment. Result: my contact lens in the sand and of course no spare lenses with me. There come the flashbacks of all the times my lenses have fallen, in the car, in the garden and at work. That was when I finally made the decision to have my eyes treated at Mediclinic. A friend had undergone the same treatment and had a very positive experience at this clinic. After a preliminary examination (to determine whether I was eligible for the treatment) I was able to be treated earlier than I had expected. A brief hour and a half in the clinic and I was able to be driven home again. We are now a few weeks further down the road and the result exceeds all my expectations. Thanks to the treatment, I now have 16/10 vision, no glasses, no contact lenses. No worries, no stress… In Belgium, you can assume that you will be treated professionally at any hospital; but at Mediclinic, they set the bar even higher. The friendly, professional approach of the staff, together with state-of-the-art technology and equipment, create confidence ‘in the blink of an eye.’ Something you definitely need when you are dealing with your eyesight!

I had my eyes lasered here a few weeks ago, and everything went perfectly. Professional approach, right from the start, and all the time I needed to have all my questions answered. I had no trouble at all... Read the review #### Tjitske Anna Z. After more than 20 years of wearing monthly contact lenses, I could finally take the step to laser treatment: on the professional advice of Dr. Van Cleynenbreugel, I opted for the ReLEx Smile treatment. Both the preliminary examination and the treatment itself are very personal, with a lot of attention for the patient and detailed information about the treatment. The treatment itself went very smoothly: at no point did I feel any pain, and Dr. Van Cleynenbreugel provides reassuring information about what was happening. I already had very good vision on the day of the procedure, and the next day I could already see everything. The aftercare visits are also very professional: I never felt like a number, but always a personal patient. I never experienced any pain or discomfort and see even better than with glasses or contact lenses! I would recommend this treatment to anyone: it has changed my life immensely!
