Is the surgical removal of strabismus fully reimbursed by the National He alth Fund? I want to undergo the procedure, but I don't know if I will have to pay extra.
Surgical treatment of strabismus is performed under the National He alth Fund in some centers and you must find such a center by asking in a department of the National He alth Fund. At the Eye Microsurgery Center, we perform these procedures without refund.
