Why are Independent Reviews So Useful When Considering Laser Eye Surgery?

We’ve all been there – out with a partner or friends on a Friday night, looking for a nice dinner spot or a place for a few drinks. But rather than wandering up and down the streets with the hope of stumbling across the perfect venue, you reach for your phone for some support.

You might opt to call your self-declared foodie friend for their recommendations, or perhaps you prefer to open one of the many review websites we now have at our fingertips. Whether you put your faith in the countless reviews posted on Yelp!, TripAdvisor, or Google reviews, you’re sure to get some valuable insight into your dinner options!

We humans like to know what to expect from an experience – particularly if we’re going to shell out for the pleasure. So, when we have the choice between an option that hundreds of people have recommended and one with an abundance of negative reviews, it’s easy to guess which one we will choose.

This is true enough of finding the perfect dinner spot. However, when it comes to something as important as our health, the value of independent reviews can become even more clear. Luckily for us, these days there is always someone who has tried out that new vegan restaurant, had an appointment at the barber’s shop, or undergone treatment at a Laser Eye Surgery clinic…

There’s no shortage of reviews, but which should I believe?

Laser Eye Surgery has grown in popularity to become one of the world’s most common elective procedures. As such, it is now easier than ever to find testimonials and reviews across the internet from people who’ve had Laser Eye Surgery. You could spend weeks trawling the various review sites available! But why would you do that when you can gather a more reliable consensus in a fraction of the time?

Independent review sites like Trustpilot are designed to filter out the masses of outdated and illegitimate reviews that can so easily taint our judgment. Some sites even go one step further. For example, the ‘Verified Order’ mark on Trustpilot reviews indicates which writers followed a direct link provided by the company. This provides peace of mind that they are genuine customers or clients.

But what about me and my prescription?

Independent review sites not only showcase genuine and recent reviews, but they also make it easy to filter through them. This allows you to discover relevant reviews – for instance, from patients with a similar prescription to you.

So, whether you have myopia (short-sightedness), hyperopia (long-sightedness), astigmatism, or even presbyopia or a particularly high-profile prescription, one of our patients is sure to have left a relevant review.

Genuine, independent reviews are not endorsed by companies or influenced by a hidden agenda. They are voluntarily published by normal people who, like you, were once considering having Laser Eye Surgery. So, if you’re wondering whether Laser Eye Surgery could be an option to correct your refractive error, independent sites like Trustpilot can be a great way to start!

Take a look for yourself: Our Trustpilot page has over 2,000 genuine reviews from our past patients.
