What should I do from this point?
After you have received your free information
pack, you should then have a comprehensive eye examination
by our professional optometrist.. This takes approximately
one hour. There is no need to travel great distances
or spend nights away from home as this examination can
be carried out at any of our clinics in Belfast, Glasgow,
or Aberdeen. During this examination the practitioner
will put drops in your eyes, this may cause glare and
it is strongly advised that you do not drive for 2 or
3 hours after the examination.
Our specially trained optometrists examine
all aspects of the eye to determine suitability for
treatment. We always give a full examination including
dilation of the eye to allow examination of the health
of the back of the eye.
This procedure of dilation is not always
carried out in other clinics.
All our patients are examined by an
Orbscan, which allows the front, back and thickness
of the cornea to be measured extremely accurately without
ever touching the eye. Older topography devices only
measure the front surface of the eye. The Orbscan enables
our clinical staff to accurately visualise the whole
shape of the cornea.
A free initial consultation is available
but to confirm your suitability a full eye examination
is required. The cost of this full assessment is £25
and takes approx 1 hour. This cost is deductable from
the cost of the treatment
What Next?
If you are a suitable candidate you will be given the
opportunity to book for treatments. Prior to any treatment
you will meet your surgeon who will carry out a final
examination and discuss any queries you have about the
procedure. Once you are completely satisfied the treatment
will be performed on the same day.
