Choosing the Right Laser Eye Surgery Clinic

There are clinics offering various different types of refractive laser eye surgery in most towns and cities across the UK but it’s still important to take time as ultimately your health is at stake.

Are they genuinely interested in your health –

although many high street opticians offer laser eye surgery it shouldn’t be considered as a purchase. When you discus your surgery with a clinic they should be asking lots of questions about your health and vision. It’s best if they also seem genuinely interested rather than asking them as a part of pro-forma question to ensure they are legally covered

Do they only do one kind of procedure –

while its true that some clinics do specialize in purely one type of surgery like lasek or waveform, if they only offer one it’s worth considering if the type of surgery they are offering is exactly what you require as they may just be recommending that procedure to stop you from going elsewhere.

No Specific Surgeon–

I would always be wary of a clinic which doesn’t offer you a specific dedicated surgeon, while the more process driven clinics might offer a slightly cheaper price you don’t want to put your hands of a clinic with a by numbers cookie cutter approach to what is a delicate operation which can affect your livelihood.

Make an appointment and trust your gut –

in almost every case you will have a number of appointments with your laser eye treatment clinic prior to the operation. These offer one of the best opportunities to judge whether you have chosen the right surgery; go with your gut if the staff seem helpful, the patients satisfied and the environment hygienic you can probably trust your instinct.

Look at consumer reviews –

although you can never trust online reviews 100% because by their nature they tend to attract mostly negative reviews. However website with online reviews can provide a great insight into which clinics offer the greatest level of surface even if sometimes you have to take the comments with a pinch of salt.

While fortunately accidents -

and bad levels of service are uncommon in the laser eye sector it’s still important people shop round and resist the urge to go with the cheapest clinic they can find and opt for a trust worthy well qualified organization with a history of happy patients.
