The hospital you want, the wait and price you don't

Cataract surgery and RLE use established lens-replacement techniques. Although no intraocular procedure is risk-free, serious complications are uncommon. Published studies report postoperative endophthalmitis around 0.02% after cataract surgery and retinal detachment around 0.2% after lens replacement. Eligible MediConnex patients may also receive medical complication cover at no additional charge once a policy is issued, including eligible treatment back home. Benefits can be up to $50,000 and remain available for up to 270 days after the approved procedure, subject to policy terms and claims approval.
* Individual risk varies. Final insurance availability and terms depend on insurer confirmation and policy issuance.

We organise the reports available within your pathway, such as operative notes, imaging, prescriptions and discharge instructions, with English translation where scoped. You receive the records directly so they can be shared with your doctor, optometrist or specialist at home.

Tell us as soon as possible. We will explain the options in writing and coordinate with the hospital where dates can be adjusted. MediConnex refunds follow the Refund and Cancellation Policy, while hospital reservation fees and committed third-party costs may follow the provider's own terms.

Our signed Shanghai hospitals include the Eye & ENT Hospital of Fudan University, Renji Hospital and Xinhua Hospital. Other routes may be assessed when a different city or specialty offers a better clinical match. The recommendation depends on the condition, department strength, doctor experience, timing and travel practicality.

That depends on your passport, route and the entry rules in force when you travel. Some patients qualify for ordinary visa-free entry or visa-free transit, while others need a visa in advance. We help identify the likely route, but you remain responsible for confirming the requirements with the relevant Chinese authority before booking travel.
