The process of finding an eye surgery clinic varies from person to person. Some people are very clear they want an operation but are not sure where. Other people make the decision to operate once they have found the right clinic. What they have in common is that they want a quality clinic. Everyone can put up with a bad haircut or buy some clothing that doesn’t really look good. When it comes to eyes, the situation is very different. We can’t accept just any site or any doctor. We need a quality clinic

What is a quality clinic?

What we understand by a «quality clinic» always depends on our own point of view but there are several points on which many agree.

At Visióndiez, we asked our patients if they think Visióndiez is a quality clinic and why. There were various answers:

• Yolanda Jiménez López, from Madrid had an operation for eye strain after a car accident. What made ​​her opt for Visióndiez was the clinic’s value:
  «If there is something important in life, it is to be able to see clearly. I had always boasted of having good eyesight until I stopped having it. I am fond of reading and it became increasingly difficult to read, especially at night. I really didn’t worry about it too much until one day, I was returning from a business trip. I misread some road signs at a junction and I went the wrong way down a one-way street. The street lights dazzled me and I couldn’t read the signs well. The shock forced me to react, so I took the issue seriously and I found out about different places I could get the operation. Everyone was talking about Clínica Baviera and Visión10. The value for money made me opt for you. 900 euros per eye was the best price I found on the market, and the first visit being free gave me all the confidence I needed. The doctor convinced me from the beginning and the facilities seemed luxurious. Now all I can say is thank you for giving me back my eyesight.»
• Manuel Fernández Fernández, Madrid, was operated on for eye strain and myopia. He recommends the clinic and emphasises the quality of life that he has gained since he was operated on at Visióndiez:
  «At 52, my quality of life has greatly improved in just one morning. I tell you, I have been operated on for myopia so I’ve given up my glasses, yeah!!! They aren’t part of my daily life now…. I can drive, go out, play sports, watch TV… and all without that parasite I had attached to my nose. Now I feel ten years younger.
  I had the operation three months ago. I made the decision overnight and went for it. My problem was I couldn’t see long distances. My prescription was 7 dioptres for the left eye and 8 for the right. Close up, my eyesight was «acceptable» and this caused me some concern. Somebody told me that having surgery could improve my eyesight at long distances but it would worsen it close up. NONE OF THAT PLEASE!!! .
  I still look for my glasses on the nightstand when I wake up and at that moment, when I open my eyes, I breathe deeply and thank VISION 10 for everything. I only have one regret: why didn’t I do it before?»

In general, patients relate the quality of a clinic with a balance between facilities, the professionalism of those who attend them and the treatment.
