Laser eye treatment is not the same at every laser eye surgery clinic. This article highlights the key areas to consider when trying to decide where to have your laser eye treatment.
|
There are significant differences between clinics that you need to be aware of when considering laser eye treatment. Here are four key areas that you should consider before deciding upon which clinic you should trust with your eyes.
Experience
Essential when considering a laser eye surgery provider BUT be careful. High street clinics claim to have completed many thousands of laser eye treatments but you need actually ask 'how many laser eye treatments has the surgeon who is treating ME performed? And what is the success and complication rate of the surgeon who is planning to undertake my surgery.
Reputation
Some laser eye clinics have a questionable reputation, others attract patients from all around the world for their specialised laser eye treatments. Ask yourself, how far would you travel to receive laser eye treatment? 10 miles, 100 miles, 1,000 miles? If patients around the world are travelling thousands of miles to receive specialised laser eye treatment then there must be an advantage to visiting that clinic if it is within reasonable reach.
Customised Laser eye treatment
Again, some clinics will offer different laser eye treatments at different prices, the most comprehensive being the most expensive. Up-selling clinical treatments when it comes to your future vision is not really ethical. The best approach for the patient is for the clinic to recommend the laser eye treatment plan that will deliver the best outcome for the patient in the safest way possible. Choosing the right laser eye treatment is most important as it will determine the quality of the outcome and should never be compromised.
Outcomes
Have a careful look at clinical outcomes at each clinic you are considering if you wish to understand more clearly the capability and expertise of the clinic.
Low to normal prescriptions can usually be treated at most clinics but as soon as a higher or more complex prescription is presented many clinics will either refuse treatment or try and persuade the patient to undergo intra ocular surgery.
Clinics that have more advanced technologies, more experienced surgery teams and expertise in specialised laser eye treatments will attract patients from all around the world and be able to deliver very good outcomes for patients.
