Safe Surgical Environment at The Medical Eye Clinic Exeter
From the very inception of the idea, the directors of The Medical Eye Clinic Exeter were resolute in their commitment to providing unparalleled patient-centric care if surgical procedures were to take place. Hospital infection rates have become a common topic in newspapers, prompting the implementation of systems to ensure a clean and safe environment in operating rooms and minimise the risk of infections.
Astonishingly, these systems are not legally mandated for cataract clinics, resulting in many private clinics neglecting to invest in these costly installations. To compound the issue, some clinics even have air conditioning systems that, in theory, could introduce polluted air from the outside directly into the room where surgery is performed. At The Medical Eye Clinic Exeter, no expenses have been spared in our relentless pursuit of patient safety. Yale University asserts that the mere presence of an individual in a room can introduce a staggering 37 million bacteria into the air every hour. Considering that there may be up to five individuals present, with one undergoing surgery, we firmly believe that precautions must be taken.
To address this concern, The Medical Eye Clinic Exeter has commissioned a tailor-made air filtration system from Interfurn UK. This system not only ensures a comfortable surgical temperature but also prevents contaminated external air from mingling with the meticulously purified air inside the operating theatre.
Constantly at work, our Air Handling Unit diligently “cleans” the air, guaranteeing a safe surgical environment for our esteemed patients. It is important to note that our air handling unit complies with HTM standards and has been scrupulously inspected by the Care Quality Commission. Moreover, the walls of our theatre have been coated with a specialised substance designed specifically for theatres, and every joint in the floor, walls, and ceiling has been meticulously sealed. As a result, the entire surgical area essentially possesses its own climate, further enhancing the safety and well-being of our patients.

Benefits of Private Eye Surgery at The Medical Eye Clinic Exeter
Enhanced Treatment Availability
Private surgeries offer a remarkable advantage over the waiting list of the National Health Service (NHS) by guaranteeing swift access to essential treatment. Patients under the NHS often face protracted waiting periods of six months or even longer before they can proceed with necessary surgical procedures. In stark contrast, our Devon-based private eye surgery ensures that patients receive prompt and timely treatment, typically within a matter of weeks following their initial consultation.
The Significance of Prompt Treatment Access
The availability of eye surgery without delay holds tremendous importance for a multitude of compelling reasons. First and foremost, immediate access to treatment plays a pivotal role in minimising the waiting period. This is crucial, as prolonged waiting can exacerbate a patient’s deteriorating eyesight, potentially impacting their overall quality of life. Simple everyday tasks such as reading, driving, and even recognising familiar faces can become increasingly arduous and challenging. This leads to frustration, dependence on others, and a loss of personal autonomy.
Additionally, untreated eye conditions may give rise to further complications, including persistent inflammation, glaucoma, or, in severe cases, complete loss of vision. Hence, the sooner patients can receive treatment, the lower the likelihood of complications arising and the faster the restoration of their normal visual capabilities.
Furthermore, prompt access to treatment also alleviates the anxiety and stress associated with waiting for a medical procedure, ultimately contributing to an enhanced state of mental well-being.
