I live abroad and I work as a flight attendant. Do you issue a sick leave note? How long after a laser vision correction surgery am I not allowed to fly? Is it necessary to undergo the examination in your clinic earlier or is it possible to have the examination and the procedure on the same day?

Our clinic offers the qualifying examination and the laser vision correction surgery on the same day – a one-day procedure. However, you have to remember that a follow-up appointment is always scheduled a day or a week after the surgery, depending on the correction method, which will be chosen as the most suitable in your case.

We issue a sick leave note if it is required – if you need one, you should mention it during the qualifying examination. A doctor can issue the note once for up to 30 days.
Air travel is allowed 3-4 days after the surgery in case of short distances, such as Poland-UK. If the flight is longer, the time that you should refrain from flying also becomes longer – even up to 7 days. The final decision is taken by the doctor during the follow-up appointment.
