How to Find the Right Laser Eye Clinic

Have you considered undergoing laser eye surgery to correct your vision and eliminate your dependency on glasses or contact lenses? If so, this is a fantastic procedure to consider, and we commend you on taking this first exciting step. 

With that being said, however, choosing the right laser eye institute to perform your surgery will be critical to ensuring both a smooth and successful procedure and having a positive care experience from the initial consultation to the final results. 

Yet with so many laser eye clinics out there, it can be overwhelming to narrow your search and select the clinic that will be the perfect fit for you and your eyes. 

In this article, we’ll provide some valuable tips to help guide you on your journey to picking the right laser eye clinic and surgeon. 

Tips to Finding the Right Laser Eye Clinic

Review the websites of your candidates 

Simply visiting a laser eye clinic’s website can provide you with valuable information that will go a long way in helping you with your search. 

Collect all the basic information you need, including details about the surgeon(s) and staff, in-depth information regarding procedures, and the operative equipment used to perform those surgeries. 

Consider the procedures offered, as well as the costs 

You’ll want options regarding the laser eye procedures offered, as the main procedure you may be considering might not actually be suitable for your unique eyes. 

For example, Clearview Vision Institute conveniently provides many vision correction treatment options such as ReLEx ® SMILE, PRESBYOND, Custom PRK, LASIK Xtra®, and PiXL™. 

Moreover, you should ensure that the website of your prospective laser eye clinic is informative, organized, and overall indicative of a professional business with a track record of success. 

Furthermore, since laser eye surgery can be pretty costly, it’s essential to consider and compare the costs and possible payment plans set by the clinics you are researching. 

Consider levels of expertise and check credentials

When searching for the right laser eye institute to perform your vision correction surgery, it’s critical to look for clinics with doctors who are certified ophthalmologists with extensive experience performing laser eye surgery. 

For example, a look through our Dr. Kranemann’s biography will assure you that he is one of the most experienced eye doctors in North America.

During your search for the right laser eye clinic, it is also beneficial to inquire about the number of procedures the surgeons have performed and their success rates, as this will give you a quantifiable idea about their level of expertise.

Additionally, it’s essential to check the clinic’s credentials and ensure that they only use the latest in operative equipment and technology to perform their procedures. At Clearview Vision Institute, our cutting-edge equipment and state-of-the-art procedure suites ensure a comfortable experience for patients with the least risk of potential complications.

Research the reviews of your candidates

Online reviews and testimonials can be highly beneficial tools for your laser eye clinic search. 

In addition to asking about your potential surgeons’ success rates, you should also check online for honest patient reviews to get a clearer idea about their reputations, along with their overall bedside manner. 

Look only for laser eye clinics boasting a high rating and plenty of examples of positive patient feedback. Do not settle for anything less. 

Finally, schedule your consultations

After finally narrowing down your options to two or several laser eye institutes, your next step is to schedule consultations with each of them. These consultations will help you get a more accurate feel for the clinic beyond what you’ve learned online. They will allow you to form impressions about its staff and doctors.

You should expect to meet with the laser eye surgeon performing your procedure during your consultations. Prepare for discussions regarding your medical history, a list of any current medications you may be taking, and any problems with your vision you have been experiencing.

The surgeon will also take the time to assess your eyes and vision and determine which laser eye procedure you are best suited for (provided you are a good candidate for laser eye surgery). 

This examination may include various tests performed to accurately assess the thickness and shape of the cornea, as well as overall visual acuity and eye health.

Scheduling these consultations with your prospective laser eye institutions should give you a quick answer regarding whether a clinic is a good fit for you.
