Choosing your eye laser surgery clinic: why location is an important factor

Published on 22nd June 2011

At Visualase we take great care of our patients throughout their laser eye surgery - pre-clinic, treatment and aftercare. Our feedback shows that 80% of patients come from within a 30 mile radius of the clinic.

Here is a list of some of the towns and cities where our patients live:

• Bury
• Chorley
• Preston
• Leigh
• Wigan
• Leyland
• Blackburn
• Accrington
• Burnley
• Rochdale
• Oldham
• Manchester

Even within the UK, choosing a clinic that is close to where you live is important as it means that you always have quick access to your surgeon and professional advice. Travelling long distances would prohibit quick and speedy access to your surgeon.

All eye surgical procedures carry a level of risk including not obtaining the desired outcome, through to varying levels of visual loss. Your eye surgeon will discuss the risks and benefits, including ones specific to your circumstances, at the time of your pre-operative consultation.
