The process:
Once the patient is found to need a particular type of surgery, he is informed about the need for it and it is discussed with the patient, preferably in the presence of a relative or family friend. All patients are given an opportunity to ask questions about the procedure and the advantages and possible disadvantages.
The patient then goes to the counsellor, who will further have a discussion with the patient. The counsellor also informs the patient the charges, so that complete transparency is maintained all through out the process.
The patient in consultation with the counsellor will decide on a convenient date for surgery. This is entered into the computer with the patients particular choice of a procedure or of a particular lens implant.
Once the booking is done, the patient is advised regarding the need to get a physicians clearance, if he has any cardiovascular problem or diabetes or any other systemic condition, that is important for the safety of the patient.
