Who are our treatments recommended for and when are they not recommended?
The situations of those who come to Saint James Clinic are diverse: some come just for a check-up, others need more urgent intervention due to cataracts or retinal problems. Some want to get rid of glasses at a young age, and some want to ensure the health of their children's eyes.
They have one thing in common: they are all looking for a safe, durable and professionally sound solution.
In some cases, none of our treatments are suitable, and in these cases our doctors recommend another solution.
We recommend our treatments if:
- Would you like to get rid of your glasses?
- You want regular check-ups to maintain your eye health
- Are you bothered by dry eyes, blurred vision, or frequent headaches?
- You have aesthetic or functional complaints due to sagging eyelids
- Your child needs an eye exam or treatment
- Problems related to diabetes and retinal problems occur
Most common reasons for exclusion:
- If you experience sudden, severe vision loss, flashes of light, or floaters, seek emergency medical attention.
- You have a serious, untreated eye condition
- There is active inflammation or infection in the eye
- You have a medical condition (e.g., autoimmune disease, wound healing disorder) that may affect healing.
- If you come with unrealistic expectations: every treatment has its natural limits, which our doctors will honestly discuss with you.
The exact decision will always be made after a detailed examination and personal consultation, so you can be sure that you will receive the most appropriate solution.
