Laser eye surgery at Treatmentsaver.com

Sunday, February 21st, 2010

Hi everyone!

As Ganesh’s first post mentioned, Treatmentsaver.com has had a recent change in direction and we are now focussing on private UK clinics as well as clinics abroad. We are putting most of our efforts into the ever growing field of laser eye surgery as we feel this is what our users would like to see.

My main focus for the past few months or so here at Treatmentsaver.com, has been in putting together lots of useful information and guides on eye laser surgery. Before going ahead and having the procedure people generally want to find out about laser eye surgery risks, laser eye surgery costs and what laser eye surgery results they should expect.

Having worked as an optician for the past 8 years, I have seen laser eye surgery grow and grow and it is something I have a real passion about. I often get asked what my reasons are for having such a passion and the thing that always comes to mind, is the fact that laser eye surgery is such a life changing procedure for those who have it done. When people come to see me for a regular eye test I always get the impression that the reason they are getting new glasses is because they ‘have to’ rather than ‘really want to’. With laser eye surgery this is completely different with people genuinely excited about the prospect of having the procedure. When they finally go ahead and have laser vision correction, it is often not only a life changing procedure but also an extremely emotional experience.

I have taken great care when writing the laser eye surgery guides to keep things comprehensive yet easy to understand. I would love to hear from you if there is something that has not yet been covered or something you still don’t understand. The best place to do this is by commenting on my blog post or by using our laser eye surgery forum, where you can ask questions and interact with others.

Over the next few months in my blog, I am going to try and write about all the different aspects of laser eye treatment, particularly paying attention to the things I often get asked about. I am also going to write about the things that put people off having laser eye surgery and see if I can address these issues. Working as a optician I often hear people say things about laser eye treatment which are simply not true, so I will also try and dispel some of these myths and old wives tales about the procedure!

Hope you have enjoyed reading my first blog.

Whats new at Treatmentsaver.com?

Tuesday, February 9th, 2010

The last few months have been very busy for us here at Treatmentsaver.com. We had previously been mainly focused  on showcasing clinics abroad but then the ‘credit crunch’ took hold and so we made a decision to give our visitors more choice  by including UK private health clinics on the site too.

This required us to re-design and re-structure the site  into sections so that visitors could still find our dental treatment  abroad & cosmetic surgery abroad sections while bringing the new treatment areas into focus: UK laser eye surgery and cosmetic surgery clinics. With our clinic reviews , guides and laser eye surgery forum we hope our visitors will be able to find the best laser eye surgery clinic for them at the best price.

We also made a lot of changes to make the site more user friendly for both visitors and clinics. For example it is now much easier to add clinic reviews. Before you had to search for a clinic before you could add a review but now every clinic has its own url  in the format www.treatmentsaver.com/clinicname eg. for Optical Express the url  for their brochure page is now www.treatmentsaver.com/opticalexpress This makes it much easier for clinics to direct their patients to our site to leave a review. Remember our site rewards clinics with better reviews by giving them higher search result listings so now there’s no excuse not to get your patients to leave a review!
