Laser Eye Surgery is something you may have considered but don’t know where to start. The Woodland Hospital on the outskirts of Kettering is the first hospital in this region to offer Refractive Laser Eye Surgery using state-of-the-art technology by Bausch and Lomb. Pioneers in laser eye surgery equipment, the Bausch and Lomb technology at the hospital is at the forefront of the latest innovations in this exciting field. This type of equipment ensures precision diagnostic eye testing by two prominent Ophthalmology consultants – Mr Baranyovits (MVchB FRCS FRCophth) and Mr Raja (MBBS (Punjab) MCPS Ophth FRCS Ophth FCRS Ophth). Diagnostic tests take place at the Woodland Hospital and Milton Keynes Treatment Centre, with surgery taking place at the Woodland Hospital. Both take place in clinical hospital conditions and are regulated by the Healthcare Commission. A forty-five minute appointment with either Mr Baranyovits or Mr Raja is the first step when considering surgery to correct eye conditions such as long and short sightedness and astigmatisms. If the patient decides to go ahead a date for the operation can be set up without a lengthy wait. The operation is carried out under local anaesthetic only – it is that simple. Both eyes are treated simultaneously and patients are soon free to go home accompanied, about an hour after surgery. Refractive laser eye surgery really is a revelation; it can put an end to being reliant on wearing contact lenses and glasses and is only considered if a patient’s prescription has been stable for 12 months or longer. Opticians can also refer their clients directly to the Woodland Hospital.
