The laser eye 'surgeons' with no real training: Experts want industry taken to task
Surgeons are calling for the rules on laser eye surgery to be strengthened after an apparent rise in patients receiving substandard care.
A private hospital in Harley Street says that increasing numbers of people are seeking its help after being given bad advice or poor treatment elsewhere.And it says it is now time for the industry to be ‘taken to task’.
Up to 120,000 Britons have laser eye surgery each year to correct long and short-sightedness, and almost one in 20 of them suffer some sort of complication.Most operations are done privately, with patients paying up to ?5,000 to have both eyes corrected.Last year, the consumer group Which? warned that not all clinics are properly explaining the risks involved.
Its investigation found that one in three consultations by clinics offering the treatment was of poor quality. Now, surgeons are speaking out.They say that despite the term ‘laser eye surgery’, the procedure doesn’t have to be done by a surgeon or even someone with specialist eye knowledge.Instead, all that is required is that the person doing the operation is qualified as a doctor of some sort.
Dr Saj Khan, an eye surgeon at the London Eye Hospital, said the unit is treating more patients who have received unsatisfactory treatment elsewhere than five years ago.And other specialist clinics are seeing a similar rise.Dr Khan added: ‘At the moment, anybody who has a basic doctor’s qualification could in theory go off and spend a few hours or a couple of days learning how to use the kit and set off giving treatment.’
Bobby Qureshi, the hospital’s medical director, called for a compulsory register of practitioners that patients could use to find a suitably qualified surgeon.He said: ‘Laser eye surgeons are, at present, only required to be registered as doctors; no specialist qualifications are legally required to carry out a laser eye procedure.‘And with those who trained abroad, it’s even more difficult to establish levels of expertise in specific treatments. This makes a central register all the more important, as it gives patients the tools to check exactly in whose hands they are putting their vision.
