Occasionally your surgeon may prescribe prescription eye drops. Unfortunately, we are unable to dispense any prescription medication in our clinics, and they will be charged for by your dispensing chemist.
Lubrication eye drops may be available at Optimax clinics at a charge; these are not provided under the Lifetime Aftercare Guarantee.
If it is more convenient you can choose to attend your local optician for your aftercare; a fee may apply. This option may be cheaper than returning to your local clinic. Your results will be sent to us for evaluation and added to your medical.
