The ophthalmic surgeons at the London Vision Clinic are world authorities in their field, rare in having devoted themselves exclusively to laser eye surgery. Their skill and dedication is the benchmark for the entire team, each of whom has been handpicked for their commitment to the ultimate in care and service. They work with a team of equally dedicated nurses, optometrists, Patient Care and Clinic Coordinators to ensure the patient expectations are met.
London Vision Clinic’s expertise is led by its founder, Professor Dan Reinstein, one of the few Consultant Ophthalmic Surgeons in the UK to dedicate his professional life to this field. He is also one of the small group of experts that has significantly refined and advanced the technology and techniques of laser eye surgery.
Mr Glenn Carp is a highly accomplished ophthalmic surgeon who studied for 18 months with Dr Reinstein before joining the London Vision Clinic. Originally from South Africa, where he won the Tetski Patterson Award for clinical research, Mr Carp is now one of the UK’s most highly trained laser eye surgeons.
Whereas most laser eye surgeons combine laser vision correction with other work, Prof Reinstein and Mr Carp have chosen to devote their professional lives to this field. As well as performing laser eye surgery, they are continually researching and developing new refinements to the treatment, to deliver the best possible laser eye surgery results for every patient.
The expert team of optometrists carries out the uniquely rigorous ophthalmic exam given to every patient. Each is a qualified and highly skilled specialist in his or her own right; able to answer any questions you may have about your vision, the testing, or indeed the surgery itself. You should never feel you are ‘wasting our time’ with questions: if it matters to you, it matters to us.
London Vision Clinic’s expertise would be diminished without its nursing team, who is dedicated to both your clinical and your emotional welfare during your treatment. Your nurse will prepare you for your surgery, and ensure you’re comfortable and relaxed throughout. Calm, expert and reassuring, your nurse will be on hand to answer any questions and keep a watchful eye on your wellbeing before, during and after surgery.
The first expert you’ll meet as a new patient is your Patient Care Coordinator, or PCC. He or she will be your main contact with the clinic throughout your treatment, providing a consistent and reassuring presence. Well versed in the details of your LASEK, Laser Blended Vision or LASIK treatment, your PCC will be able to answer most of the questions you may have. And if you need an even more expert opinion on anything, they’ll make sure you get it.
The Clinic Coordinators and Clinic Host keep everything running smoothly, and help make sure you always receive the highest possible standards of service. Also known as the London Vision Clinic’s “Air Traffic Controllers”, their aim is to ensure every patient’s administrative needs are taken care of – from re-arranging appointments or getting an insider recommendation for the best little cafe in nearby Marylebone – they walk that little extra mile for patients, every day.
