    You have to be confident that the surgeon is doing the surgery because he knows you will get a good clinical outcome, not because some dolly bird is getting commision for you signing on the dotted line. Also make sure any additional surgery is covered if needed, it's not uncommon to get thickening of the capsule and that needs a laser to sort out - more money for some unscrupulous companies.

    As for Pentax - it's half way for specsavers to standardise their branding and half because a few of the big optical labs want to seem exclusive and don't want to advertise that they deal with us.
  • I'll most certainly be making sure who I'm dealing with will be the best surgeon for the procedure. It's not about getting the best you can afford, I want the best there is. I'm not going to allow myself to in took by good quality marketing talk.
