American Alcon technology with premium lenses for clear vision at all distances, without glasses. Quick approx 30 minute procedure, no hospitalization.
Eyelid lesions or their malfunction affect eye health, but also the general appearance of the face. Oculoplastic surgery addresses these periocular problems.
I was pleasantly surprised by the cleanliness, organization and especially the attention and warmth of the staff.
Thank you very much, Mrs. Dr. Monica Apostolescu!

My name is Mariana Morar and I am 60 years old. 6 months ago, I entered the clinic's website, informed myself and made an appointment with Dr. Monica Apostolescu, thinking that there is no such empathetic doctor...advertisement, I told myself!
I was very surprised when I met the doctor and the clinic staff, chosen as if by the doctor's personality, a warm, patient, empathetic, professional person who inspires trust from the first moment!
The dioptre correction operation went perfectly and was short-lived, I didn't count, but it lasted 15-20 seconds of my eyes. It's hard for me to describe in words, how good I felt during and after the intervention.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart to the doctor, the team and the staff.
I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to everyone who wants to get rid of glasses!

From the first contact, the team was extremely calm, warm and attentive. They explained everything to me step by step and made me feel safe every step of the way.
The operation went perfectly, and the result... is hard to describe in words. I literally feel like I've been reborn. I couldn't believe how well I could see.
The doctor is a special professional: calm, patient. It gives you confidence from the first moment.
I wholeheartedly recommend this clinic to everyone who wants to get rid of glasses and see the world really clearly.❤️
I was pleasantly surprised in every way and I am a picky person. In a word, perfect! I am waiting without emotions for the intervention by Monica Apostolescu.

Infinitely grateful to doctor Monitsa Apostolescu! I have small astigmatism and -3.5 diopters, and also dry eye syndrome, because of which I was worried that after the operation the dryness would become even greater. But the experiences were in vain. Thanks to SmilePro, the surgery itself and the rehabilitation after it went incredibly easy! Жодной боли под час та последний! No side effects that I read online. Only dryness on the first day, and only the pleasure of incredibly clear vision - even 100% clear vision! In the office I saw 1.6 rows, which is simply incredible, considering you, before the operation I didn't even see the first row :)

I recommend Clario to anyone who wants to get rid of their glasses. Ms Monica Apostolescu gave me all the information about the procedure, answered all my questions and gave me the confidence I needed to do the intervention. I had been wearing glasses for over 10 years, having myopia on both eyes, dioptre -4 and I wanted to get rid of the glasses. At Clario everything is superlative: the staff is very kind, the latest equipment and all the flawless medical act. I recommend Clario ! I recommend Dr. Monica Apostolescu !
The experience at the clinic was extremely pleasant. I really like Dr. Magureanu as a professional because she adds valuable information outside of dance specialization but also as a person. She is wonderful!

As an operation, the procedure... A pleasant experience, a very well-trained team and modern technology. I have been looking for the right clinic for a long time and I am very satisfied with my choice. As an operation, the procedure lasts a maximum of 25 minutes (from the time you leave the waiting room until you return) and the actual intervention itself lasts a few minutes. There is an adaptation period but it is normal and for me a week after the procedure the distance vision is perfect, the near vision becomes better every day. As a technology, after the checks, SMILE was recommended to me, and I can say that I recommend both the procedure and the Clario clinic with great pleasure! The doctor is a special person! 🙌
Dr. Ioana Damaschin - I recommend with great confidence and love. The consultation was very meticulous and professional and the doctor was very kind, respectful and welcoming.

Go with confidence and you will not be disappointed, you are not obliged to do anything, but you will find out how you are doing with your eye health and you will know what to do next.

I do not speak Romianian but the staff was very comfortable in English and was very friendly. I went to verify if my eyes could be lasered to avoid wearing glasses/contacts and chose ReLEx SMILE ZEISS after getting all a very clear explanation of the advantages/disadvantages. After the operation that was painless, I could directly see. After two hours of tearing I had no further discomfort (no redness,dryness, tearing). The next day I had perfect vision, which was confirmed by the check-up.
A super positive point : prices are exactly as described on their website, no deviation.
Overall : super professional and friendly staff that speaks English,clean and professional environment and transparent prices

I had the opportunity to experience the biggest change in my life at Clario, under the guidance of Dr. Monica Apostolescu. After 16 years of wearing glasses, I decided to take the step towards Femto Lasik surgery. It was one of the best decisions I've made so far. Dr. Monica Apostolescu impressed me from the first consultation - her professionalism, attention to detail and empathy were outstanding. He patiently explained each step of the procedure to me and this helped me feel safe and well informed. The procedure was quick and comfortable, and the recovery was easier than I could have imagined. Now, more than 3 months after the operation, I can see perfectly without glasses, and I can say that I have completely forgotten the feeling of wearing them. I was given back the freedom and visual clarity I hadn't had in years. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to Dr. Monica Apostolescu and the Clario team for an exceptional experience! I recommend with all confidence!
Dr. George Apostol was professional, he provided us with all the answers to the questions we asked him, and the consultation was complex.
The nurse was one of the nicest people in the medical system that I have met so far.

I had the chance to have laser surgery by Dr. Monica Apostolescu and I can only thank her for everything she did for me. He is an extraordinary doctor, with perfect professionalism, but also with a rare warmth of soul. From the first consultation, he inspired me with confidence, patiently explained every detail of the intervention and answered all my questions.
The operation went flawlessly, and the result exceeded my expectations. I felt safe throughout the procedure due to his expertise and great care. In addition to her outstanding professional competence, I greatly appreciated the empathy, care and respect with which she treats her patients.
I wholeheartedly recommend Dr. Monica Apostolescu to everyone who needs an ophthalmological intervention. He is a wonderful doctor and a special man, to whom I will remain deeply grateful
Thank you for restoring my clarity of vision and peace of mind!” ❤️👁️✨

I decided to take the step towards dioptre reduction surgery with Presbyond technology because I wanted to get rid of the dependence on glasses, especially in daily activities, but also in my free time. I am a stomatology doctor and I need a clear and precise vision, and the glasses were starting to become a burden. I had no fears or reservations before the intervention; seeing what are the recommendations for this clinic, I went with all confidence. From the first visit to the clinic, everything went extremely efficiently and quickly; I was quickly taken care of by the ladies assistants for the rigorous measurements and later during the actual consultations I had detailed explanations and all the necessary information. I was impressed by the professionalism and empathy of Dr. Monica Apostolescu, and this helped me overcome any anxiety. The surgery itself was quicker than I expected and completely painless. The anesthesia is local, topical / with drops, completely painless and without discomfort; the whole procedure is without any pain. The staff was extremely attentive to my comfort throughout the procedure. Everything took place in a very modern and friendly environment. After the operation, on the same day, my sight was already much improved, without needing glasses, and the next day, practically 24 hours after the intervention, I resumed my activity, being a dentist. Now, after the operation, I enjoy clear vision without glasses. I can see perfectly up close and the difference is incredible. It is liberating to be able to live without glasses and enjoy every detail of everyday life with new clarity. I wholeheartedly recommend this procedure to everyone who wants to improve their life through such an intervention, and I thank the team at Clinica Clario for the outstanding experience!

I had an appointment for analyzes preceding the presbyond operation with Mrs. Apostolescu. What an empathetic doctor, honestly, I was extremely impressed by the fact that he could have taken my money for the operation, but instead he told me that it is not necessary to do the intervention, it still has to be postponed for a few years. When the time is right, I will return to Clario because I trust the people there. Excellent conditions, exemplary cleanliness. All staff very kind. Thank you for a wonderful experience

I am very impressed by how human Dr. Surgeon Monica Apostolescu is. He treated me with a lot of respect, patience, maximum professionalism, perfectionism and with the desire to find the best "setting" for my vision and to feel good, things that led to an extraordinary success of the operation.
On the 2nd day consultation, my visual acuity was over 100%! It is extremely good!
Thank you so much to Dr. for everything she has done! 🤗
I also thank the team of assistants, optometrists, receptionists who took care of me! 👍
The atmosphere in the clinic is very pleasant, the staff very friendly, welcoming, communicative, I enjoyed talking to everyone there.
I felt good, I didn't want to leave there.😊

A spontaneous decision you make when you feel that you are fed up with something. For me, the only thing I was tired of was seeing the world blurry, seeing everything in a fog, and not being able, not even for a second, to part with my glasses for 12 years. At first, I felt shivers of excitement, but I was not afraid. A man who feels that a change is needed in his life is strengthened by God, and when you are in the hands of a professional doctor, hope and confidence increase. After many hours of documentation and tireless searching, I discovered Clario. I enthusiastically read various reviews about how other people's lives changed, and I was enveloped by one dream: to be able to see clearly, to experience the same miraculous change. I knew that there could be risks and that it is not an easy operation, even if some might speculate that. With a deep desire to get rid of the scary dioptres (-5.50 in both eyes) I made an appointment for a post-operative check-up with Dr. Monica Apostolescu, a doctor of millions. The check went great. I was treated with special care and felt great. Every detail of the operation was explained to me patiently and carefully, and the lady doctor made me feel at home. The next day the surgery was to take place, a day I will never forget and will forever be etched in my mind. A day that would change me profoundly, one where my dreams would come true. I was greeted again with the same warmth and gentleness, and my emotions began to subside. I was more ready than ever to see myself differently, to see the world differently. I was picked up by the lady doctor and led into the operating room, a cool room, but how did I know that I would walk out on my feet, seeing people from a distance without glasses for the first time. It wasn't hard or embarrassing. I saw vibrant colors, talked to the lady doctor, and beyond the doors I could feel my mother's emotions strongly. The surgery didn't take long and everything went perfectly. I discovered how beautiful it is to see everything clearly and differently. My world changed radically from the moment I got up from the table and started looking around. Finally, after 12 years of not being able to part with my glasses and after the difficult times of enduring various labels and prejudices, I got to see with my own eyes how beautiful the world is, how wonderful life is and how good it is to perceive everything normally. I confidently and warmly recommend Clario and Mrs. Monica Apostolescu, the only person who managed to change my life forever. Now, a few days after surgery, I feel great. I have no problems and everything is exactly like in my dreams.
The wife benefited from a complete ophthalmological consultation from Dr. Dana Popescu, to whom we would like to thank her for the kindness and clarity of the explanations provided, putting the patient's interest first.

I went for a consultation today, to check my eligibility for a laser dioptre reduction intervention, but unfortunately I am not eligible for any of the interventions, as my cornea is too thin.
However, you won me over as a future patient forever because I was amazed by the empathy and professionalism shown by both Dr. Monica Apostolescu and the entire staff of the clinic Clario.
Thank you very much!

I RECOMMEND WITH ALL CONFIDENCE!!!! I wore eyeglasses, starting in 2010. I decided, with great difficulty, to have cataract surgery and a lens implant, in order to get rid of the glasses (I had a terrible fear: I thought: dust gets in my eyes, it stings, it tears, etc., but what would it be like when someone "walks" there and twists a lens....) I made the first consultation in August 2025 (at Mr. George Apostol), and then the pre-operative control in September 2025 (at Mrs. Silvia Chiotoroiu), the operations on 14 and 21.10.2025 (Ms. Silvia Chiotoroiu) and post-operative checks at one week, one month and six months (at Mrs. Maria Dina). I saw much better, two hours after the operation eyes !!!!! Thank you to the whole team, not only those mentioned before!!! They are a formidable team!!!
Very happy with the experience!

I opted for FemtoLASIK laser surgery to get rid of glasses. Mrs. Dr. Apostolescu Monica explained to me in detail about the procedure, the first time I did detailed tests to see if I was a suitable candidate for laser surgery, and luckily I was!
It was the best decision made! I have very clear vision, I can say that I see much better than before, I also got rid of astigmatism.
If you are thinking of correcting your vision using laser surgery, I recommend the Clario clinic! Grade 10 services.
I recommend going to Dr. Monica Apostolescu!

From evaluation to surgery, in the shortest time
Step 1
Evaluation Consultation
Choose a clinician for your evaluation consultation. The waiting time is much shorter than for evaluation with a surgeon and the protocol is the same.
Step 2
Preoperative Investigations
Complete investigations with state-of-the-art equipment will be evaluated by your chosen surgeon to establish your surgery plan.
Step 3
Surgery
The choice of the doctor who operates on you is always decided by you. With this flow, the procedure is done quickly, the whole process taking only 1-2 weeks.
Frequently Asked Questions
The goal of the surgery is to see after the operation without glasses, as well as you saw with glasses (correctly prescribed) before the surgery. The corneal changes made during the operation are permanent. The eye being a living structure may undergo changes over time, independent of the procedure itself. These changes are related to the natural aging process of the eyes and the individual healing process. Diopter changes are usually minor and do not have a significant impact on vision.
We offer all modern procedures with ZEISS technology: Smile PRO - easy recovery; Femto LASIK - fast results; Presbyond - for people over 40 who want to get rid of reading glasses too. The doctor recommends the optimal procedure based on diopters, age and lifestyle.
The laser acts in 7-30 seconds. After Smile PRO and Femto LASIK, usually vision is good the next day. After PRK, visual recovery is gradual, in 4-7 days. You will receive clear instructions and treatment for optimal comfort.
The minimum age is 18-20 years, when diopters become stable. For Smile PRO and Femto LASIK, the optimal range is 20-45 years. After 45, Presbyond is the ideal solution for those who want independence from glasses at all distances. Usually, after the age of 60, due to the likely risk of cataract development, we recommend lens replacement.
No, cataract surgery is painless. Anesthesia is done with drops or, rarely, with periocular injection. It takes approximately 30 minutes, you go home the same day and will see improvements the next day.
