To determine your suitability you will be invited to the clinic for a thorough assessment and consultation.
On arrival in reception you will be asked to complete a simple background questionnaire. The assessment part of the process is conducted by one of our experienced optometrists. Here we will check your prescription and take some very detailed measurements of the anatomy of your eyes. The optometrist will measure your pupil size, your corneal thickness and will also take some images of the front surface of your eyes. It is this information that will allow the ophthalmologist to decide if you are suitable.
Once you have had your assessment you will be brought back through to reception and will then go on to meet your ophthalmologist. This is the doctor who will ultimately treat you, should you be suitable and you are happy to proceed. The ophthalmologist will examine your eyes and review all the information gathered by the optometrist. Please use this valuable time with your doctor to ask any questions you may have. There is no pressure at all for you to make a decision there and then. The purpose of the assessment and consultation is purely to determine your suitability so you can make an informed choice if you want to go ahead. We take no deposits from you and you will receive no follow up ‘sales’ calls.
