Your
Optimax care doesn’t stop after your immediate
recovery,
we give all our laser patients
all necessary aftercare and remedial treatment for as long as you
need it, free, even after you’re discharged with a
satisfactory result. This doesn’t cover natural changes to
your eyes or any diseases not connected to laser treatment and
excludes
non-laser surgery patients.
We want to ensure that
your treatment achieves the best possible results, so it is
important that patients attend their aftercare appointments.
Personal aftercare is included as part of the treatment
pathway and, for complete peace of mind, the Optimax
aftercare advice line is available for patients to call 24
hours a day.
Laser Eye Surgery
We believe that continuity is an
important part of the Optimax treatment pathway, so your treating
doctor will be actively involved in your aftercare.
LASIK - including Wavefront/ IntraLase
Femtosecond
Aftercare appointments usually take place on the day following
treatment, again one week afterwards and six to eight weeks later
(if all is well you will also be discharged at this
visit).
LASEK - including Wavefront
If bandage contact lenses are used, they should be
removed three to four days after treatment at an Optimax clinic. The next aftercare
appointment will be 7-10 days after treatment and then again
at six to eight weeks (if all is well you will also be
discharged at this visit).
After your second
appointment at Optimax, we can arrange for you
to see one of our participating opticians in your local area for
further aftercare appointments. You will be charged a fee by
the optician (usually £15-£20 and not covered by
Optimax) however this may be a less expensive option than your
travel costs to Optimax. The optician will forward your
results to us for our records.
Cataract surgery / RLE,
Keratoconus and ICL
As with Laser Eye Surgery, we believe that continuity is
an important part of the Optimax treatment pathway, so your treating
doctor will be actively involved in your aftercare. Optimax offers
up to one year free aftercare on non-laser treatments.
You will be seen on the day after surgery at your consultation
clinic, so an overnight stay at a local hotel may be necessary.
Appointments then take place one week following each surgery. The
doctor will examine your eyes and assess your individual needs.
Following your initial aftercare consultations you would be
required to come back for check up four to six weeks later, three
months later and once again in six months. This is to ensure that
your treatment achieves the best possible results.
ICL patients would also be required to
attend an Endothelial Cell Count test once every two
years. This is to ensure that the lens hasn't moved and that
no cell damage has occurred. You are welcome to return to
Optimax for the test which is currently available at our London, Birmingham, Peterborough, Manchester and Glasgow clinics at a cost of £25.
Alternatively, you can arrange this test through a local
Ophthalmologist of your choice. Please make sure you ask
specifically for Endothelial test.
