WAITING TIMES FOR PUBLIC OPHTHALMOLOGISTS
We have an agreement with the public healthcare system, which means that patients with a health insurance card can be treated with us. However, this arrangement is subject to certain limitations and we do our best to use public resources responsibly and efficiently.
Currently, the waiting time for non-urgent patients is approximately 6 months.
You can find an overview of other ophthalmologists with a collective agreement and their current waiting times on Sundhed.dk

FORMER PATIENTS
Patrick11 maj 2026 I was recommended Copenhagen Eye Institute as I've been struggling with my vision in the recent months. I have been to your standard high street optician and unfortunately paid a dear price for glasses that I've never felt helped my condition. Upon arrival at the Institute I was warmly greeted at reception and with very little waiting time I received the most comprehensive tests I've ever experienced and all done in the secure and competent hands of the personal. There was no rush to conclusions and I got the pleasure of being also seen by one of the top eye specialists in Scandinavia for a second opinion. There was never any pressure to commit to the treatments on offer but a staged approach to the issues were suggested and I left knowing I was in good hands. The clinic is modern and the treatments available are cutting edge and I'm grateful that I found the Copenhagen Eye Institute and look forward to continuing my treatment with them. I can highly recommend their services. First class.Roshni11 maj 2026 I reached out to Copenhagen eye institute during the Easter 2025 break when it’s a real struggle to get the doctors appointment generally .. after multiple denial for my sons eye consultation we were fortunate enough to get an appointment at this institute. Right from the reception call all the way till the doctors appointment everything was so approaching and professional to make us feel that we are right place and in safe hands . I would highly recommend Copenhagen eye institute.Jason7 maj 2026 I was traveling to Copenhagen on business when I suddenly had floaters and flashes in my right eye. Knowing that this was likely a vitreous detachment, but could be a retinal issue, I sent an email well after five from a roundtable. Within 15 minutes I was speaking to a doctor and they were able to see me right at 8am the following day. They were amazing all around, very consultative and caring. Amazing experience.Jonathan1 maj 2026 Super professionel og behagelig oplevelse.Munsyi30 april 2026 Friendly staff and professional, highly recommended.Sune30 april 2026 Dygtige læger og fantastisk persnale, det eneste minus, er deres venteværelse. Det er lidt kedeligt, og siddepladserne er elendige 😅 Opdatering! Dagen efter de så min anmeldelse, så havde de skaffet nogle dejlige lænestole 😁 Så de får selvfølgelig 5 stjerner herfra .Tine27 april 2026 Rigtig god og tryg oplevelse. Jeg fik hjælp til at diagnosticere og få en behandlings plan til tørre øjne og yderligere flamation i vippekanten, som andre øjenlæger ikke har kunnet hjælpe med. Stor varm anbefaling herfra!Natascha27 april 2026 Jeg havde en virkelig god oplevelse hos Copenhagen Eye Institute. Efter at have været meget igennem med mit øje og haft svært ved at komme ordentligt ind i systemet igen, var det en kæmpe lettelse at blive mødt så professionelt og omsorgsfuldt. Jeg følte mig taget seriøst fra start til slut, og undersøgelsen var både grundig og tryg. Lægen forklarede tingene klart og gav mig ro i maven omkring min situation. Personalet er utrolig søde og imødekommende. Jeg gik derfra med en klar plan og en følelse af endelig at være i gode hænder. Kan varmt anbefales.
