Your surgeon is ultimately responsible for your treatment outcomes.
Several members of the clinic staff will play an important role in your Laser Eye Surgery journey; however, the buck ultimately stops with the surgeon who performs your procedure.
Your surgeon is directly responsible for your care, even if some aspects of your treatment are delegated to other staff, such as your optometrist. Therefore, it is important for patients to always have access to their surgeons when they need it.
In addition to scheduling a follow-up appointment on the day after your surgery (preferably with the performing surgeon), a good clinic will provide emergency contact details for your surgeon.
At London Vision Clinic, patients are given their surgeon’s personal mobile number on the day of their procedure. This allows them to contact their surgeon immediately in case of an emergency related to their treatment.
