There are many providers of laser surgery, often with offers of special deals, however at Shaylers Vision Centre, we feel your eyes deserve the very best care, especially when undergoing a surgical procedure which does have some risks attached.
in view of this we would recommend the Bournemouth Laser Centre at the Nuffield hospital, where you will be fully assessed by Mr Kersey, a local consultant in Ophthalmology.
Most patients are very pleased with the results of their refractive surgery. However, like any other medical procedure, there are risks involved. That's why it is important for you to understand the limitations and possible complications of refractive surgery.
Before undergoing refractive surgery, you should carefully weigh the risks and benefits based on your own personal value system, and try to avoid being influenced by friends that have had the procedure or doctors encouraging you to do so.
You may choose to have LASIK refractive surgery on both eyes at the same time or to have refractive surgery on one eye at a time. Although the convenience of having surgery on both eyes on the same day is attractive, this practice is riskier than having two separate surgeries.
If you decide to have one eye done at a time, you and your doctor will decide how long to wait before having surgery on the other eye. If both eyes are treated at the same time or before one eye has a chance to fully heal, you and your doctor do not have the advantage of being able to see how the first eye responds to surgery before the second eye is treated.
Another disadvantage to having refractive surgery on both eyes at the same time is that the vision in both eyes may be blurred after surgery until the initial healing process is over, rather than being able to rely on clear vision in at least one eye at all times.
Even the best screened patients under the care of most skilled surgeons can experience serious complications.
Under the care of an experienced doctor, carefully screened candidates with reasonable expectations and a clear understanding of the risks and alternatives are likely to be happy with the results of their refractive procedure.
