Questions to Ask Your Surgeon

When undergoing any form of elective surgery, it is important to be as informed as possible before making any decisions. Your Patient Care Coordinator and Optometrist at the London Vision Clinic will do everything in their power to make sure you feel informed, safe, and comfortable heading into your surgery. But you should head to your initial appointment armed with any specific questions you would like to have answered by an experienced professional.

With that in mind, we have put together a selection of some of the key questions to ask:

• How experienced is my surgeon?
• Will the clinic conduct all of the necessary pre-operative tests to ensure my suitability for laser eye surgery?
• How much time will you spend with me before my surgery?
• Can I see your results for patients with a similar prescription to mine?
• What percentage of patients are charged your advertised price? Are there any hidden ‘extras’?
• What aftercare regime is provided in my treatment plan?
• Will I be able to contact my surgeon after treatment?

Every effort will be taken to answer all your questions and address any concerns you have before you head into surgery. Your dedicated patient care coordinator will be on hand at all times and, best of all, your one-to-one appointment with your surgeon (scheduled for before surgery day) will allow you to ask any remaining questions.

If you think of any questions outside of your formal appointments – don’t hesitate to get in touch!
