Your Aftercare After Laser Eye Surgery: unparalleled accessibility and flexibility

The aftercare that comes after laser eye surgery is perhaps one of the most under-appreciated components of the entire patient experience. We aim to exceed expectations in this vital role by:

• Ensuring that you see your laser eye surgeon after laser eye surgery
• Allowing unparalleled accessibility to medical care should you need it after laser eye surgery
• Offering the most thorough and extensive series of aftercare appointments as our standard regime
• Being flexible for additional aftercare appointments, should you need them
• You may call a patient education consultant to learn more about aftercare after LASIK eye surgery- or any other laser eye surgery

A rule set in stone for after laser eye surgery

Professor Reinstein and Mr. Carp insist on personally examining all of their patients on the day after their laser eye surgery.

The aftercare is superb, which is a factor that should be taken seriously. I would not hesitate in recommending LVC. It has improved my quality of life immensely. — Guy N., Software Consultant, from Farnborough , Hampshire

Unparalleled accessibility after LASIK eye surgery

In the unlikely event that you should need it, we provide every patient with their laser eye surgeon's mobile telephone number that they can use 24/7 in case of an emergency after any eye surgery.

After the procedure the peace of mind that you have from knowing that Dan is at the end of the phone 24 hours a day is invaluable. After-care is second to none. The only reason I would give you for not having this procedure is if you were thinking of going anywhere else but the London Vision Clinic. — Pamela A., WP Consultant, from Sutton, Surrey

The standard regime after laser eye surgery

• At London Vision Clinic, we see our patients after LASIK eye surgery at 1 day, 1-3 weeks, 3 months, 6 months, 9 months and 12 months after their surgery. In certain cases (i.e. PRK / LASEK patients), we will plan for visits that are more frequent in the first week.
• We provide every patient with all the necessary supplies to aid in their recovery after eye surgey. If they should ever run out, our patients can expect to call the clinic to request refills at any time over the duration of the standard regime.

Flexibility beyond the standard after eye surgery

• Any patient having a question about any aspect of their recovery after LASIK eye surgery is more than welcome to call one of our nurses at any time, for any reason.
• Should any patient have a question that an optometrist can best answer, we commit to calling them back within 24 hours.
• Any patient wishing to visit us for an extraordinary post-operative appointment outside of the standard regime is welcomed with open arms.

The provision of information has been excellent, allowing me to form a considered opinion, especially important given my long 5.75 prescription. Dan and his team provided a great service throughout the 18 month period. — Joseph W., City Trader, from Beckenham, Kent
