Bupa EyeDAY
Bupa EyeDAY
The Bupa Direct Access for You (DAY) programme provides direct access to day case centres around Hong Kong. Under this programme, our EyeDAY centres offer common types of eye procedures such as cataract removal.
In the public hospital system, the longest waiting time for an appointment at an eye specialist outpatient clinic can be up to 3 years, depending on your condition (see Note 1). For elective cataract surgery in the public hospital system, more than 47,000 people are currently on the waiting list (see Note 2). With Bupa EyeDAY, you can receive treatment relatively faster at a private day case centre (see Note 3).
In Hong Kong, day case centres must comply with a list of specific government standards to perform eye procedures. These guidelines are designed to ensure patient safety (see Note 4).
At the modern, well-equipped day case centres in our EyeDAY programme, eligible Bupa customers (see Note 5) have direct access to cashless service for day case eye procedures.
