Independent
assessments for LASIK suitability and post-op aftercare.
Ultra-EyeCare,
the new co-management scheme from Ultralase, is proving to be
extremely popular. Tony
Veverka, Sales Manager, explains: "Refractive surgery
has never been more popular, and Ultra-EyeCare allows
forward-thinking optical professionals to be part of this growth
market by offering a LASIK assessment and aftercare service,
ensuring that their practices are at the very forefront of
optical care.

"We know from our research that many people who are
interested in LASIK discuss it in the first instance with their
optometrist. Our structured training programme in pre-operative
assessment and post-operative care ensures that Ultra-EyeCare
practitioners can give the best advice to these patients."
After
consultation, if patients wish to have LASIK, they can choose
from 13 treatment clinics around the country. People living in
the Edinburgh area are presently a natural feeder for our
Newcastle treatment clinic. The attraction of Ultra-Eyecare is
that patients receive high quality aftercare locally without
making repeated trips to the treatment centre.
Consulting optometrist David Crystal, based in Edinburgh, is
enthusiastic about the scheme and is providing aftercare for
several patients who have had LASIK with Ultralase.
Commenting on just one of them, he says, "She is absolutely
delighted with the outcome. Affiliating with Ultralase seems a
natural progression - Ultralase have very high success rates
for laser eye surgery and I specialise in treating dry eyes which is a side effect of LASIK."
