Medical Disclaimer

Everything on the website, including descriptions of eye conditions, treatments, risks, recovery times and typical outcomes, is provided for general information and education only. It is not a diagnosis, a treatment recommendation or a substitute for professional medical advice.

Always ask a qualified eye doctor (ophthalmologist) or optometrist about your own eyes. Do not ignore professional medical advice, delay seeking it, or stop or change any treatment because of something you have read on the website.

When you send us your prescription, scans or reports, the surgeon who reviews them gives a first opinion based only on the information you provide. This opinion is not a diagnosis and not a final treatment plan. Whether a treatment is suitable for you can only be decided after a full eye examination in person, and treatment only goes ahead with your informed consent after your surgeon has explained the benefits, risks and alternatives for your case.

Every patient's eyes, general health and healing are different. Results described on the website, including in patient stories, reviews, photos and videos, are individual experiences. They are not a promise or prediction of your result.

All eye surgery and eye treatments carry risks, including the possibility that you may still need glasses or contact lenses, may need further treatment, or may have complications. Your surgeon will explain the risks that apply to you before you agree to any treatment. No statement on the website should be read as a guarantee of any outcome.

Our online eye test, suitability quizzes, lens finder, calculators and similar tools are screening and information tools only. They do not diagnose any condition, cannot check the health of your eyes and do not replace an eye examination. Their results depend on your device, screen settings, lighting, distance and answers, and may be inaccurate. A good result does not mean your eyes are healthy; a poor result does not mean you have an eye disease. If you are concerned about your eyes, see an eye doctor.

Patient reviews and stories are the personal opinions and experiences of the patients concerned, published with their consent. Photos and videos may show individual cases and are for illustration only. They are not typical of every patient and are not a guarantee of results.

Our medical pages are written to be accurate and balanced, are based on recognised medical sources, and are reviewed by one of our surgeons. Each medical page shows who reviewed it and when.

Medicine changes, however, and new research, techniques and guidance appear all the time. Although we review our content regularly, we cannot guarantee that every page is complete, accurate or up to date at the moment you read it. If you find something you think is wrong, please tell us at {{contact email}} and we will check it.

The website links to other websites, such as medical organisations, research papers and official government pages, for further reading. We do not control those websites and are not responsible for their content, accuracy, availability or privacy practices. A link does not mean we endorse the website or its owner.

The website is published in several languages. We take care to keep every language version consistent, but small differences in translation can occur. If anything is unclear, please ask us.

We may update this disclaimer from time to time. The date at the top of this page shows when it was last changed. Please check it each time you use the website.
