Throughout this website, you’ll often hear us refer to your “patient journey.” This is a term we use to describe your progress through the different stages of your treatment. You may be right at the beginning of your patient journey and still waiting for a diagnosis, or somewhere in the middle and wondering what comes next. With this in mind, we’ve put together all the information you’ll need along the way, including:
- How to get a diagnosis and referral for treatment
- What to expect during each of your appointments
- What’s involved in the treatment itself
- How to take care of your eye afterwards
Your patient journey will vary depending on the condition you’ve been diagnosed with, so simply click on the links below to find out more.
We hope you find this information useful and that it answers any questions you might have, but please don’t hesitate to call us on 0330 058 4280 if you would like more information about any stages of your treatment. We’re always here to help!
