Can I see your results for patients with a similar prescription to mine?
High-quality Laser Eye Surgery clinics will publish their results in a clear format that allows prospective patients to assess results that are most relevant to them.
This will help you assess the clinic’s success rate with prescriptions similar to your own. For example, results for patients with short-sightedness between -1.00 D and -3.00 D will have less relevance to you if you have -6.00 D of short-sightedness, or if you are long-sighted.
If you are over 40 and are considering Laser Eye Surgery for presbyopia, it is important to be aware of your chosen clinic’s results for both near vision and distance vision. Unfortunately, not all clinics publish the results for near vision after Laser Eye Surgery.
Furthermore, some clinics only publish their results for a smaller range of prescriptions.
The best clinics will publish their results in a scientific journal (known as peer-reviewed literature).
At London Vision Clinic, we publish our results for the full range of prescriptions we treat – including myopia (short-sightedness) up to -14.00 D, hyperopia (long-sightedness) up to +7.00 D and cylinder up to 6.00 D.
