Apprehensive about your forthcoming eye surgery?

Our specialist ophthalmic surgeon Anthony Quinn has experienced many nervous patients over the 22 years he has been practising eye surgery.

It isn’t uncommon for many patients to feel nervous and apprehensive prior to eye surgery.

Mr Anthony Quinn Exeter Eye Consultant Ophthalmic SurgeonFor many people the mere thought of being awake for a medical procedure, let alone eye surgery, is disconcerting enough, for others it is the fear of pain.

At Exeter Eye we ensure that your apprehensions and nerves are addressed before your procedure. We are available to respond to any concerns that you may have prior to the procedure and when conducted by a highly qualified ophthalmic surgeon.

Mr Quinn confirmed:

“I personally guarantee my patients will see me for an in-depth consultation prior to surgery; whereby I will evaluate which surgery is most appropriate and then, upon the patient’s approval, undertake the surgery and follow this up with a further check-up to ensure all is satisfactory.

All of my patients receive my home and mobile contact details should an urgent concern arise.”

Below Mr Quinn answers some common worries patients have before they undergo eye surgery.
