When looking for a clinic whose doctors we trust enough to undergo without fear Laser vision correction, we take into account many issues.
Until recently, it was a problem to find a specialized eye clinic with modern equipment. Today, such clinics are sprouting up like mushrooms after the rain, and their potential patients have been hit by a harvest disaster. What should ultimately guide the choice, when the offer of each facility seems to us almost identical? The key to solving the puzzle is the word IMMAL.
Given that eye surgery arouses – even in the most educated and informed patients! – a primal, albeit unfounded, fear of pain and going blind, finding a clinic whose staff will ensure that we are not afraid of laser surgery is really important. And not just for psychological reasons. After all, it’s not just about stress reduction alone, it’s about making us feel comfortable and not feeling overly anxious.
It is worth realizing that this excessive anxiety affects our immunity, and therefore also the rate of healing of surgical wounds and recovery. Short-term stress causes beneficial changes in the immune system, but when it becomes prolonged, it is an extremely dangerous factor that effectively weakens immunity. Therefore, when your intuition tells you that the most important thing is to find a clinic and a doctor who will make you stop being afraid of laser vision correction – trust it. Your intuition confirms the research of scientists!
Many issues… When answering the question of where is the best place to get laser vision correction, look for a clinic whose staff:
- They will take as much time as you need to talk to you. They will explain everything you ask. They are available at the clinic, on the phone, use instant messaging and you will find them easily on social media. In a word: they use all communication channels to not only promote and publicize their business (after all, that’s what everyone does!), but to TELL you the intricacies of refractive surgery from medical language into everyday, colloquial language and they do it without misrepresentations, simplifications and half-truths.
- They don’t push one single method of treatment, even if the clinic where they work is a reference center of a particular company, such as one that manufactures medical equipment. The fact that a clinic is a “reference center” means that it belongs to one (or many) European reference networks (ESRs), which are virtual networks that bring together health care units that aim to improve access to diagnosis and treatment for patients suffering from rare diseases or other complex clinical cases. It is also a guarantee of combining the expertise and experience of specialized medical centers from 28 countries of the European Union, as well as mutual assistance in developing and improving standards of clinical management.
- They always choose the most individualized path for diagnostics. Of course, on the website of such a clinic you will find information on standard procedures and diagnostic tests preceding specific procedures (for example, laser myopia correction or implantation of an artificial lens for cataract treatment), but if in your particular case there is a need to expand or modify the package of tests – it will be expanded and modified.
- They present patients with all treatment options, indicating the one they consider best in a particular case: the safest and most effective. If there are relative contraindications to the procedure – they discuss the conditions that the patient should meet in order to undergo it. If there are absolute contraindications – they do not hide it.
From the patient’s point of view, it is important, to perform laser vision correction that has minimal side effects. A method in which all parameters are individually adjusted and planned based on the unique physical properties of each patient’s eye is Smart Sight. Because the interference with corneal tissue is minimal, the precision of the SmartSight procedure is incomparably greater than with other laser interventions.
The procedure is performed with an extremely fast femtosecond laser, and the patient can see perfectly almost immediately after the procedure and can return to their life activities even the next day. Everything you want to know about Smart Sight can be found here.
All of the above-mentioned conditions are met by the Swiss Laser Clinic. Dr. Victor Derhartunian – the originator, creator and head of the Clinic in one person – has been successfully running his own EyeLaser clinic in Vienna, Austria, since 2012, and the Laser Surgery Center in Zurich, Switzerland, since 2016.
Both of these facilities are among the highly rated clinics in this part of Europe by patients, all thanks to the skillful use of innovative technologies and the application of absolutely high standards in working with patients. We have introduced the same technologies and standards at our SwissLaser clinic in Warsaw.
Have we helped you deal with the birth defeat? Your best bet is to get laser vision correction at Swiss Laser Clinic. If you decide to get treatment or surgery at the Warsaw clinic, you will receive services of the same quality as if you had come to our clinics in Austria or Switzerland.
