Why do we do what we do?

Romil Patel explains why he does what he does

Most people would say that their vision is their most important sense, and they treasure that the most. By becoming an eye surgeon, you can have a direct impact on someone’s vision. Any surgical procedure that you undertake has a very rewarding and direct impact on that person’s lifestyle.

You can compare that to other surgeries, but some people don’t often experience the pleasure of that surgery at all. Certainly in the first few days or weeks, in many other aspects of surgery. But with eye surgery, you can have a massive impact on someone’s lifestyle as well as vision in literally a matter of hours or days.

Investigating laser vision correction can be a confusing process, and many people fear it will take hours. Because of that, a lot of people put it off, but at the end of the day, most patients wish they had had it done years sooner.

To that end, we’ve made the process a little bit simpler for you by creating a five-minute online consultation directly with the surgeon. You can use this time to ask a couple of questions that you have in the back of your mind and get a concrete answer as to whether this is something you want to pursue.
