Is It Safe to Have Eye Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Is It Safe to Have Eye Surgery During the COVID-19 Pandemic?

Due to COVID-19 there is a lot of uncertainty regarding medical treatments; including whether you can or cannot visit a laser eye surgery specialist.

At LaserVision it is safe to undergo eye surgery during COVID-19. However, safety precautions must be implemented to keep yourself and our employees protected.

Your health and safety are of the utmost importance to us, and we will continue to abide by all government guidelines. As providers of essential eye care, we are readily equipped to care for all of our patients safely and efficiently. 

How we Maintain Safety in the Laser Vision Clinics

We are strictly following all advice from Public Health England (PHE) and the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. This ensures that we can continue providing safe, high-quality care to our patients.

Our enhanced COVID-19 health and safety measures:

  • Prior to your appointment we will send you a letter asking you to notify us if you have any COVID-19 symptoms. If you do, we will reschedule your appointment a time most convenient for you.
  • Upon arrival to the LaserVision clinic a hospital team member will take your temperature and provide antibacterial hand sanitiser that you are required to use.
  • We require all employees and patients to wear the appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
  • All public waiting areas have been rearranged to ensure 2-metre social distancing rules are maintained.
  • We are now limiting appointments to reduce the number of people in the clinic at all times.

In addition to these changes we kindly ask you to attend all appointments on your own, unless you require assistance.

Dr Tappin and the team at LaserVision were amazing. I underwent Lasik corrective surgery and the process could not have been smoother. I was guided through the process with care and professionalism throughout. My results have been outstanding. I could not have asked for more from the team at LaserVision and I am truly grateful for my new vision.

Utterly professional and caring from start to finish. I was quite nervous about having laser but am so pleased with the results. There has always been someone to advise and support every step of the way and patient care and well being really is the priority here. Thank you for looking after me and my eyes so well.

Dr Jayaswal has been amazing and changed my life. He made me feel so comfortable and relaxed in his care at the first meet, to remembering me with a personalised greeting, calmly explaining the procedure and reassuring me all the way through the surgery. I couldn’t recommend him enough for Lasik eye surgery - I now have perfect vision, a real dream come true! Thank you so much!

I had lens replacement surgery. After being both short sighted and long sighted for decades I can now see near and far without glasses or contact lens. It really is amazing. The care was great and so far the recovery has been easy.

Amazing service from start to finish, I had LASIK surgery in August this year after years of consideration I finally took the plunge and went for the surgery with Mr Tappin. Mr Mike Tappin and his team were brilliant from the consultation right through to the surgery and aftercare. Mr Tappin and his team were very reassuring throughout the surgery and put me at ease every step of the way. If you are thinking about having laser eye treatment or at the start of your journey with it, I would highly recommend seeing Mr Tappin and his team!
