Looking for Advice About Your Laser Eye Surgery Options?

Countless people have likely commented to their friends and family how they would love to have Laser Eye Surgery. After all, who among us doesn’t dream about getting rid of the pesky glasses and contact lenses once and for all?

But when it comes down to it, having Laser Eye Surgery – or any kind of refractive surgery for that matter – is a big decision. There is the cost, recovery time, and all sorts of other logistics to consider.

When it actually comes time to make that choice, you want to know that you can access the best information and advice regarding your potential treatment, including the right procedure for you, what kinds of results you can expect, and of course, whether you are a candidate for Laser Eye Surgery to begin with.

So, where can you go for advice about your Laser Eye Surgery options?

Friends, Family, and Strangers

Word of mouth has been an effective means of raising awareness for as long as language has existed. What’s more, many of us are more likely to be affected by a single human story than a long list of data and statistics – a phenomenon known as the “sample of one” theory.

Thankfully, with Laser Eye Surgery now more accessible than ever before, it is becoming increasingly likely that you might indeed know someone who has undergone the procedure for themselves. Being able to discuss the treatment options with existing patients can help you to better appreciate the various steps involved in your prospective treatment.

Comparing Patient Reviews

But even if you don’t know anyone who has had the procedure themselves, the internet is a huge place that can instantaneously bring together strangers from all over the world.

When it comes to your internal debate regarding Laser Eye Surgery, or indeed, which clinic to go with, this can be a valuable tool. Countless review sites and forums mean that it has never been easier to learn from the experiences of others.

Take the London Vision Clinic Trust Pilot page, for example. With hundreds of five-star reviews, you can learn more about what makes us so popular with our patients. You can compare patient experiences and reviews for different clinics to help figure out which provider could be the best fir for you.

Go Direct to the Clinic

While past patients can offer valuable insight into their experiences, it is important to remember that everyone’s eyes and needs are unique. At the London Vision Clinic, we work hard to provide in-depth resources to inform our prospective patients about our treatments and refractive surgery in general. However, the only way to truly learn which treatment is right for you is to go to your prospective clinic(s) directly.

Once you have narrowed down your potential clinic(s), get in touch and book a consultation. These appointments are usually free with no obligation but will provide you with the information you need to make an informed decision about your treatment.

At the London Vision Clinic, our consultation process involves comprehensive testing to determine your suitability for treatment. Following this rigorous screening process, if you are eligible for Laser Eye Surgery, your doctor will discuss your options with you in detail. Of course, they will make a recommendation for treatment based on your prescription and your overall eye health.

These consultations also allow you to ask any questions you might have about Laser Eye Surgery. But should you forget to ask something – don’t worry! Our friendly clinic coordinators are always on hand to help.

What if I’m Not Eligible for Laser Eye Surgery?

At the London Vision Clinic, we are able to treat around 98% of the patients we see. But there is always a chance that your consultation will conclude that you are unsuitable for Laser Eye Surgery. The good news is that there may well be an alternative treatment.

For example, some patients may be unable to have Laser Eye Surgery due to the health and thickness of their corneas, the size of their pupils, or having a complicated prescription. Thankfully, we also offer a range of other treatments, including clear lens exchange (CLE) and implantable collamer lenses (ICL) surgery.
