Optimum Laser Vision Care Center

Lenses were replaced due to cataracts. I can see almost perfectly. My eyes only became sensitive to light.

I heard very good things about them. I left with high hopes. The doctor and his assistant were also very kind and polite. To my disappointment, my strong diopter and thin cornea made it impossible for my eyes to be operated on, but I could really appreciate their honesty. They would rather say before surgery than be aware of it and eventually be told it didn’t work out the way we wanted it to. Unfortunately, I knew that. Despite all this, I have a little ray of hope in me. It is reported, possibly, in a few years that science will be there to be operated on despite high diopters and a thin cornea.

My mother treated you dearly, with no results. :) Shameful. :)

In my case, everything went well and as planned, I am satisfied. All relevant information is told and properly informed. Laser surgery (Zyoptix Elite) is not painful, but those few minutes are quite uncomfortable. After about a week, my vision stabilized, until then there was photosensitivity and eye strain. If I could choose again, I wouldn’t have my eyes operated on in the summer. The heat, the hot wind, the high UV radiation in the first few days are quite disturbing, as you should not rub your eyes, you can hardly touch them.

Hi! I had my eye surgery here 5 years ago (vision correcting laser surgery). It turned out today at an optician that my eyes were practically as bad as they were before surgery. That is why I am writing you this assessment. The venue itself, the people working there are very kind and good, the service is also interesting, but based on the above experience it is not worth it. I think a lot more people have their eyes operated on than they should. This is for those for whom it is not worth spending 3-400 thousand forints. He may have brought back the price of the contact lens, though not even that. I do not recommend optimum ophthalmology, but I do not usually consider the procedure to be meaningful (ie laser eye surgery). What will come to light in the long run, however, is that they do not place much emphasis on informing them of the real possibility of a rapid decline. You should say at least 10 times the following sentence: "You watch, your eyes will be good now but no one guarantees that they will be good in 1-2 years, we will only correct the current condition." I would ask all ophthalmologists to inform people properly, not just in the small print section or somewhere on the website, not just once during the medical consultation. Be highlighted because it is important info. Oh, and whoever thinks my eyes got worse back because it always got worse fast is well wrong. The required dipotria did not change substantially in the 15 years before surgery, so for me it was absolutely stable. Still, I’m going to buy glasses now, with the same diopters as before surgery. I hope this comment helps someone make a decision.

In November 2020, I took part in my usual medical screening (Buda Health Center), where I had an ophthalmological examination, of course with a specialist. There are several ways to examine the eye. It was found that my eyes had deteriorated after 9 years but of course I felt that too. (I can't see the 82cm TV from 3 meters, the lights show a big scatter (bulb, digital clock, etc.). In January 2021, I also wrote to the company (Optimum) that I had my eye examined with an ophthalmologist and sent me a photo of the official result, and I had described when and who had surgery in the month of 2011.11. I asked them to say something reassuring. In response, they wrote, (I quote): "We look forward to seeing you at our facility at the time agreed on the phone: January 13, 2021." We discussed over the phone what my complaint was about seeing a doctor. they reassured me at Optimum, they told me to come in, they would watch too. I went in at the scheduled time. It was a snowy winter day with very strong sunshine. (this will be important later). There, they began the study, which was more stationary, but the point is that they also provided pupil dilators. then at the end of the examinations, they found out what I knew so far (since I also had an official medical record about it) that my eyes had really deteriorated. That's when I was shocked to pay, and it would cost me 15,000 forints. (I know I was naive too). Then came the other shock of being able to go home as I think because I didn’t really see it. The weather mentioned above and the pupil dilator have had an effect that was unfortunately not reported and I don’t live close to. It was very uncomfortable to drive like that. I later wrote a letter that I was not informed about these (neither about the fact that the test will be paid, nor about the fee, or about arranging transportation for myself, because I won’t see much of it). To this I wrote that (I quote): "In our institution, the first two of the post-laser procedures are free of charge, the others are subject to a fee. (private opinion or many years of experience: If someone is interested in an investigation, an intervention and they discuss a date, I think it is their duty to inform the user what the investigation entails, how long, and what the cost is) I was hoping the warranty would be resolved, but I was informed in a letter that this was not possible. Although the company writes that the chances of deterioration are low, I think it is much higher than they claim. What I experienced after the surgery, after the surgery: I have never had a physical problem with my eyes and I have endured the surgery and "recovery" well. (I was just tearing but there are those who really hurt, that varies). But since then my eyes have been very sensitive, anything goes in (a dusty eye, an eyelash), which is normally max a little uncomfortable, here’s a hell of a pain, as if with hundreds of needles pricking my eyes. My eyes are constantly dry (although the ophthalmologist always says they are beautifully scarred, that's all) and they stick out, which results in waking up in the morning, opening my eyes as if they'd been glued and tearing, which also hurts a lot. and eye drops, also applies to the use of eye gel). In summary, I really regretted the surgery, so that I feel like a backward, wasted money after the surgery, I didn’t even have that “wow, but I see it super” feeling, in the end that what I described above was just icing on the cake. I would recommend it to everyone, think twice, consider it, because you only have two eyes and I know that glasses are expensive (I am uncomfortable too, which is why I operated on them), but it may be worth it no matter how hard and seductive the surgery is.
