Questions to Ask Your Surgeon
When considering Laser Eye Surgery – and any form of surgery – it is important to be as informed as possible when making your decision. Our patient care coordinators and optometrists are always on hand to answer any questions or concerns you may have relating to your treatment.
It is a good idea to head to your initial appointment with a few questions to help you feel informed, safe, and comfortable before heading into surgery. So, let’s take a look at a selection of key questions to ask an experienced professional:
- 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?
Our clinic staff will make every effort to answer all your questions and help with any queries both prior to and after your treatment. Moreover, you will be appointed a dedicated patient care coordinator who will be on hand at all times. Finally, your one-to-one appointment with your surgeon (which will take place before your surgery day) will allow you to address any last-minute concerns.
If you think of any questions outside of your clinic visits and appointments, don’t hesitate to get in touch!
