Procedure - Submitting a complaint

1. Contact with betterview
Contact betterview and describe your problem. If an agreement has not already been reached, please contact our ombudsman’s office for laser eye surgery.

2. Contact the ombudsman’s office
Tell us about your problem, including the full history of the case and attachments such as your e-mail correspondence with betterview, using the online form. Based on this, the ombudsman’s office will initiate further steps, which will constitute a recommendation and serve to solve the problem.

3. submit an appeal if necessary
If you do not agree with the ombudsman’s recommendation, you can appeal against it. The matter will then be referred to the Ombudsman Board. This committee will deal with the case and, if necessary, take further steps on a recommendatory basis.

4. Civil law steps
If one of the contracting parties (patient or betterview) does not agree with the appeal decision, the only remaining option is civil proceedings. The ombudsman’s office does not represent the parties and is neutral. However, the decisions of the first and second instance can be used by the court.
