Here’s how Brits are regaining their sight abroad!
This spring, Dr. Holhoș graces the cover of British Thoughts Magazine, not as a character of folklore, but as a real-life medical pioneer. And if you’re one of the many in the UK tired of long NHS queues or the high price tags of private procedures, you might want to start packing your bags—not just for treatment, but for an experience.
With state-of-the-art clinics nestled across Transylvania, from Alba Iulia to Cluj-Napoca, Dr. Holhoș has built more than just a medical network. He’s crafted a vision-focused sanctuary, blending cutting-edge technology with an almost cinematic backdrop.
And here’s where it gets even more compelling…
Dr. Holhoș is the first in Transylvania to bring SMILE Pro, a revolutionary laser eye surgery for patients suffering from myopia and/or hypermetropia (or “farsightedness,” as we say on this side of the channel). It’s minimally invasive, boasts lightning-fast recovery, and comes with significantly less discomfort than traditional laser procedures. Patients can often see clearly within hours, without the dreaded dry-eye sensation that plagues older techniques.
In a testament to his contribution to global eye care, Dr. Holhoș was recently recognised by ZEISS, one of the world’s leading innovators in medical optics. His clinics helped reach a landmark achievement, over 10 million eyes treated worldwide using ZEISS SMILE and SMILE Pro technology. It’s a powerful validation, not just of his skill, but of his role in shaping the future of refractive surgery.
But why go all the way to Romania, you ask?
Well, aside from the medical innovation and the surprisingly reasonable costs, there’s this: You’re going to Transylvania. A region dripping in history, where medieval towns, fairytale castles, and sweeping Carpathian mountains make the healing journey as magical as the results.
“Many of our patients come for the surgery and leave feeling like they’ve had a holiday,” Dr. Holhoș tells us with a smile (pun entirely intended). “They fix their vision and end up falling in love with the place.”
And that’s exactly what his clinics offer, a rare blend of high-calibre care and hospitality, where each patient is treated not just as a file number, but as a guest. Dr. Holhoș himself trained in top European and American institutions, bringing home not only the best techniques but the highest international standards of safety and comfort.
Dr. Holhoș’s team is at the forefront. Transparent pricing, English-speaking staff, and a deep commitment to patient satisfaction have already made his clinics a go-to for a growing number of international visitors.
Perhaps it’s the poetic symmetry of it all… arriving with blurred vision, leaving with clarity, not just in sight, but in spirit.
For many British travellers, this is more than corrective surgery. It’s a reinvention. A chance to see again, and to see something new.
So whether you’re haunted by outdated glasses or simply looking for a change of scene, you might just find your answer where you least expected… in the land where Dracula once roamed and where your future could, quite literally, look a lot brighter.
