Why should you have your eye surgery in a hospital?

Our patients benefit from undergoing eye surgery in a hospital environment with a qualified clinical team that is trained to the highest standards attainable anywhere in the UK.

There are five reasons why we believe you should have your LASEK and LASIK eye surgery at a hospital:

• Maintaining mandatory standards that are optional for others. Unlike high street locations, Yorkshire Eye Hospital maintains private hospital-standard cleanliness and must meet private hospital-standard regulations, audits and governance.

• A range of vision correction options - all in one location: Being an eye hospital, we are able to offer and perform all currently available procedures for vision correction in-house. We don't need to refer you to a national centre as the high street chains have to do - saving you time and money.

• The patient and surgeon relationship - as it should be: At Yorkshire Eye Hospital, you will be designated to a named individual eye surgeon. Your surgeon will be on the GMC Specialist Register.Most doctors working on the high street have not been able to gain the experience or demonstrate the commitment required to complete the structured training programme that lasts around seven to ten years which is what is required to get your name on the specialist register. This also means that your laser eye surgeon will have enormous experience and competence in a range of eye disorders and can provide you with expert advice on your suitability and the best choice of treatment.

• Companies don't perform laser eye surgery, surgeons do: At Yorkshire Eye Hospital, you will have a very high degree of access to your laser eye surgeon. Your surgeon will be intimately involved with your post-operative care unlike in the high street where volume demands require that operating surgeons are almost always operating. And, because your surgeon is a local resident, you can rest assured that they are very accessible, should you need them.

• Benefit from a collegiate culture centred on you: Yorkshire Eye Hospital has a collegiate culture. What this means for you is that where there is need for additional expert input into your care, this can be done in-house, across a very wide range of sub-specialists. Should you need it, your surgeon can call upon the expertise of a number of regional and national experts - often in the office next door.
