When choosing a Laser Eye Surgery clinic, it is important to consider their results.
High-quality clinics will publish their outcomes in a clear format, allowing you to assess the results that are most relevant to you and your prescription. The best clinics will publish their results in a scientific journal (known as a peer-reviewed literature).
It is important to consider the clinic’s success rate with prescriptions similar to your own. For example, results for patients with mild short-sightedness (e.g., between -1.00 D and -3.00 D) will be of little use if you have more severe short-sightedness or are long-sighted.
Moreover, if you are seeking treatment for presbyopia, you should consider your clinic’s results for both near and distance correction.
Unfortunately, not all clinics publish their results for near vision. Some clinics also only publish their results for a small range of prescriptions which can create a skewed picture of their success rate.
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.
