04. Your Surgery Day
When you arrive at London Vision Clinic, our team will welcome you and guide you through the final preparations for your procedure. Your surgeon will confirm your treatment plan, complete the necessary checks and explain what will happen during surgery.
Our approach combines advanced surgical technology with experienced clinical care. Whether you are undergoing laser vision correction or lens surgery, every stage is carefully managed with your safety, comfort and individual needs in mind.

Your recovery is an important part of the treatment process. Following surgery, our clinical team will arrange appointments to assess how your eyes are healing, monitor your developing vision and identify anything that may require additional attention.
The timing and frequency of your appointments depend on the procedure you have undergone. During these visits, your optometrist or surgeon will review your progress, discuss any temporary visual changes and advise when you can safely return to your usual activities.
Scheduled clinical reviews, assessments of healing and visual progress, and personalised recovery guidance.

At London Vision Clinic, your relationship with our clinical team continues beyond surgery day. We understand that recovery is different for every patient, which is why our aftercare programme is designed to provide reassurance, clinical monitoring and practical advice throughout your recovery.

What You Say About London Vision Clinic
FAQs
What happens during my first consultation at London Vision Clinic?
Your initial consultation is an opportunity to understand your eyes and explore the vision correction treatments most suitable for you. Our clinical team carries out a comprehensive assessment using advanced diagnostic technology to examine your prescription, corneal health and other important aspects of your vision. We’ll also discuss your lifestyle, expectations and any concerns you may have. Following your assessment, your surgeon will explain the available treatment options, including their potential benefits and risks, so you can make an informed decision without feeling rushed.
How do I know which vision correction treatment is right for me?
Not everyone is suitable for the same procedure, which is why detailed diagnostic testing is such an important part of your journey. At London Vision Clinic, we assess factors including your prescription, age, corneal thickness, eye health and individual visual requirements before recommending treatment. Depending on your circumstances, options may include LASIK, SMILE, PRESBYOND, Implantable Collamer Lenses (ICL) or advanced lens replacement surgery. Your surgeon will explain which approach is most appropriate for your eyes and whether surgery is advisable.
What should I expect on the day of my eye surgery?
Your surgery day begins with a warm welcome from our clinical team, followed by final checks and confirmation of your treatment plan. Your surgeon will explain the procedure and answer any remaining questions before treatment begins. Many laser eye surgery procedures take only a short time, although the overall appointment will be longer to allow for preparation and recovery checks. The experience differs for lens-based procedures, and your team will explain the specific arrangements beforehand. You’ll receive clear aftercare instructions before leaving and should arrange suitable transport home, as you won’t be able to drive immediately after surgery.
How long does recovery take, and what aftercare will I receive?
Recovery varies depending on the treatment you undergo and how your eyes respond. Many patients notice improvements in their vision relatively quickly following LASIK or SMILE, while other procedures, including lens replacement surgery, may involve a more gradual period of visual adjustment. Temporary dryness, fluctuations in vision and sensitivity to light can occur during recovery. London Vision Clinic provides scheduled post-operative examinations to monitor healing, assess your vision and address any concerns. Your clinical team will explain your individual recovery timetable, when you can return to normal activities and what ongoing support is available.
