Laser Eye surgery is become more and more popular at Kirkwood Fyfe and we are finding that more of our patients are looking to improve their eye sight on a more permanent basis. In conjunction with our September Laser Eye competition, we have tracked the Laser Eye Surgery experience of one of our recent patients, Fiona Rait. In this post we explore the initial stages of the Laser Eye Surgery process, including the details of the Pre-operative Consultation, which our lucky winner of the competition will receive. In this we discover why Fiona, who recently went through the surgery, chose Kirkwood Fyfe and how she found the Pre-operative Consultation.
Customer's experience
Recently, Fiona Rait came to Kirkwood Fyfe to have laser eye surgery performed. Given Fiona's line of work in the Baking Industry, she felt that wearing glasses was impractical and inconvenient. Fiona chose to come to Kirkwood Fyfe after hearing about our excellent reputation and specialist aftercare and once we carried out the Pre-operative Consultation, we were only too happy to carry out the procedure.
We use Z-LASIK which is the most advanced innovation in bladeless surgery. This procedure uses a high-frequency laser. It is designed to create truly customized flaps, precisely, safely and pain-free. Its beam is a 100 times less intense than first-generation femtosecond lasers. Never before have safety, accuracy and patient comfort in laser eye surgery been so good, as proven by 750,000 successful Z-LASIK treatments.
Pre-Operative Consultation
Prior to the surgery we carry out a Pre-operative Examination to assess if each patient is a suitable candidate for the surgery. During the Pre-operative Consultation, we perform a Corneal Assessment and take various other technical photos and measurements to gain as much information about your eyes as possible. We also carry out a prescription simulation to show you what the finished result would be like.
The consultation lasts about an hour and we understand that the process can be a major operation to most people, this is why we ensure that every patient is treated with the utmost care and attention. Fiona explains, "The Pre-operative Consultation was excellent and the staff at Kirkwood Fyfe made me feel at ease. They were very informative and were able to answer all my questions."
Track Fiona's progress in the next 2 blog posts. We will look at what is involved in the procedure itself and find out Fiona's views and how she felt during and after the procedure.
