Risks and recovery
The effect of laser treatment varies between patients. SLT may need repeat treatment or a change to trabeculectomy.
For 24 hours after laser treatment, avoid rubbing the eye and strenuous exercise. When you can fly is decided by the operating surgeon.
Medical records are mainly in Chinese; international departments may provide English. Ask before treatment how foreign-language documents will be arranged.
Glaucoma needs long-term pressure monitoring. Arrange a local ophthalmologist in your home country and take the records and reports with you.
If symptoms worsen suddenly, or you have severe breathlessness, fainting or altered consciousness, seek emergency care immediately.
What to confirm with the hospital
- Has the diagnosis been confirmed by pathology or imaging?
- Will a multidisciplinary team be involved?
- What is the treatment goal, and what are the alternatives?
- Which tests, drugs and hospital stay are included?
- How long is the treatment cycle, and when is response assessed?
- What is the emergency plan?
Frequently asked questions
- Can I get a cost estimate before I travel?
- You can submit your records through the planning flow. Hospitals may reply with a written range that lists inclusions and exclusions; a final price depends on the device, the length of stay and any complications.
- Do I need a visa to travel for treatment?
- Visa rules depend on your nationality and how long you stay. Visa-free entry does not cover inpatient treatment. See the visa guide and confirm details with the Chinese embassy.
- How current is this information?
- This page uses public hospital records and published price lists. Confirm details with the hospital before booking.
- What should I bring to the hospital?
- Bring your passport, entry or visa documents, current medication list, recent imaging and test reports, and prior treatment records. Ask the hospital in advance whether translations are needed.
- Can the hospital provide language support?
- International departments may provide English support or interpreters, but availability varies. Ask the hospital to confirm the language arrangements for consent, test reports and discharge instructions before booking.
- What if the hospital recommends a longer stay?
- Ask for the reason, a revised written estimate and the new discharge plan, then check your visa and insurance cover before changing your travel.
- How do I pay the hospital?
- Payment methods and deposits vary. Before paying, confirm which cards, cash or transfer options are accepted and request a written breakdown.
