Not All Surgeons Are Created Equal

Not All Surgeons Are Created Equal There’s a barber I’ve been going to ever since I was six and I first rebelled against my mum’s quick and easy bowl haircut.

But in reality, it’s more likely you have no idea, and you’re thinking what on earth do all these numbers even mean? This is because unless you’re an optometrist, you won’t be overly familiar with the Snellen chart. We’ll fill you in with exactly…

But what does it actually mean to be a good laser eye surgeon? Does being a qualified doctor and having some experience, and maybe a name badge, make them so?

Harley Street vs High Street

Harley Street vs High Street The number of high street Laser Eye Surgery providers in the UK has skyrocketed over the past decade. Depending on how you look at it, the rise could be seen as a good or bad thing.

You’ll be forgiven for feeling a little bit overwhelmed, but the reality is that things…
