How to choose the best laser eye surgery provider?



When it comes to choosing a laser eye surgery provider, you might feel overwhelmed by the long list of companies who, at first glance, all seem to offer the same service. In reality, though, there is a range of questions you should be asking in order to set apart the very best laser eye surgery providers from all of the competition.

Finding the right provider is vital to ensure you get the best possible results from this life-changing treatment. To help you get started, we’ve put together our top tips for choosing a laser eye surgery provider.

Does the provider offer the latest laser eye surgery techniques?
The very best laser eye surgery providers will offer the most up-to-date treatments, and this means giving you advanced ophthalmology treatment.

Are they using the latest technology?
The latest technology is paramount for any laser eye surgery provider to ensure superior results and greater comfort for patients and is also necessary in order to offer the latest laser eye treatments. If a provider isn’t using the latest laser eye technology then we advise you look elsewhere.

Do they offer dedicated eye hospitals and clinics?
Choosing a state-of-the-art eye hospital is important to ensure you have access to the very best facilities. Many high street clinics do not offer the same level of comfort, technology, and expertise as specialist eye care hospitals. Optegra offers dedicated eye hospitals and clinics in locations up and down the country.

Do they offer the very best surgeons?
Your eyes are incredibly precious, so naturally, you only want world-class surgeons carrying out your procedure. You’ll only find the most experienced and highly regarded surgeons at the best laser eye surgery providers.

Do they offer a free consultation?
The best laser eye surgery providers won’t cash in on patients who want to ask questions about their services. This is why you should always make sure a provider offers free laser eye surgery consultations so you can fully assess the hospital, facilities, surgeons and their credentials before paying a penny.  Consultations are also vital in order to check a patient’s suitability for laser surgery, and at Optegra we believe this should always be done on a no-cost basis.

Do they have five-star status on independent reviews?
To find out how good a laser eye surgery provider is, it’s best to hear from the patients themselves, and there’s no better place to do this than independent review sites like TrustPilot. Companies have no say on what reviews appear on their TrustPilot page, and therefore you can be sure that these reviews are accurate experiences of patients.

There’s a huge difference between four and five-star ratings – a 20% gap from one to the other – so make sure you choose a five-star laser eye surgery provider in order to get the very best level of treatment.

Can you visit the hospital for an open evening?
The best laser eye surgery providers will always encourage you to visit their hospitals in order to find out more about their surgeons, technology and patients’ experiences. Laser eye surgery open evenings help to show that premium providers have nothing to hide and are a great way to find out everything you need to know about your treatment and the hospital where it will be carried out.

Are they a trusted authority on all matters on eye health, or just a laser eye surgery provider?
A premium laser eye surgery provider will not only offer laser eye treatments but also be an authority on all areas relating to eye health and eye conditions.

Next steps
Hopefully, you’ll now have a clearer idea of how to choose a laser eye surgery provider. One of the best ways to know if a provider is right for you is to pay them a visit.

Why Need a Phacoemulsification & Its Benefits

Image
Phacoemulsification is a cataract removal surgery that involves taking out the front portion of the eye lens while retaining the posterior capsule. It is a safe, painless procedure followed by the implantation of an artificial lens (IOL) in the affected eye to improve vision. Eye cataract is the clouding of the eye’s natural lens, leading to considerable vision loss especially among people beyond the age of 40. There are several types of cataracts, classified according to the location where it occurs. Clouding at the back portion of the lens is termed a subscapular cataract, while the one that forms in the nucleus of the lens is called a nuclear cataract. A cortical cataract, on the other hand, starts at the periphery of the lens and spreads inwards toward the center. To some degree, the formation of cataract is related to aging, though more and more people are afflicted with it due to diseases and other medical conditions. The technique by which cataract is broken into small
