Corneal Transplant in Erbil, frequently asked

How long should I plan to be in Erbil for Corneal Transplant?

For most procedures, plan a minimum of 7 days in Erbil. Day 1 is full pre-operative evaluation, surgery is on day 2 (if you're a candidate), and follow-ups span the remaining days. We coordinate longer stays for transplant patients who need close early monitoring.

Is Corneal Transplant in Erbil the same standard as London or Berlin?

Yes, same surgical technique, same equipment manufacturers, same eye-bank tissue sources. Dr. Ahmed Shaarawy has two surgical videos in the AAO video library and trained at Devers Eye Institute, Portland, OR (a US cornea center). The cost difference reflects local operating costs in Egypt, not clinical standards.

What languages does the clinic team speak?

Arabic, English, and Kurdish are spoken at the front desk and in clinical care. Surgical consent forms, medical reports, and post-op instructions are issued in English on request.

Will my home insurance cover the procedure?

Many international private insurance plans cover at least part of the cost. We issue detailed clinical reports in English (procedure code, diagnosis code, surgical notes) suitable for insurance reimbursement claims after your trip.

How do I send my topography or OCT before traveling?

Email scans (PDF or JPG) to ask@cornea.clinic, or attach them via WhatsApp to +20 111 118 2081. Dr. Shaarawy reviews international cases personally and replies within 24 hours with a treatment plan and travel logistics.
