Safe Surgical Environment
From the very beginning, The Medical Eye Clinic Exeter has prioritised providing exceptional patient-centric care during surgical procedures. The increasing concern over hospital infection rates, frequently discussed in newspapers, has prompted us to implement stringent systems that ensure a clean and safe environment in our operating rooms, minimising the risk of infections.
Surprisingly, these systems are not legally required for cataract clinics, leading many private clinics to overlook investing in these costly installations. To exacerbate the issue, some clinics even have air conditioning systems that could potentially introduce polluted air from outside directly into the surgical room.
At The Medical Eye Clinic Exeter, we spare no expense when it comes to the relentless pursuit of patient safety. According to Yale University, the mere presence of an individual in a room can introduce an astonishing 37 million bacteria into the air every hour. Considering the possibility of up to five individuals being present, with one undergoing surgery, we firmly believe that it is crucial to take precautions. To address this concern, we have commissioned a tailor-made air filtration system from Interfurn UK.
This system not only maintains a comfortable surgical temperature but also prevents contaminated external air from mixing with the meticulously purified air inside our operating theatre. Our Air Handling Unit works tirelessly to “clean” the air, ensuring a safe surgical environment for our esteemed patients. It is important to note that our air handling unit complies with HTM standards and has undergone thorough inspections by the Care Quality Commission.
Furthermore, we have coated the walls of our theatre with a specialised substance specifically designed for theatres, and every joint in the floor, walls, and ceiling has been meticulously sealed. As a result, the entire surgical area maintains its own climate, significantly enhancing the safety and well-being of our patients.

Benefits of private eye surgery in Devon
Enhanced Treatment Availability
Private medical facilities provide a significant benefit compared to the lengthy wait times experienced within the National Health Service (NHS). In the NHS, patients frequently encounter extended periods of six months or more before their crucial surgical procedures can be scheduled.
In contrast, our private eye surgery centre in Devon guarantees swift and efficient treatment, typically within a few weeks after the initial consultation. This ensures patients receive timely care without unnecessary delays.
The Significance of Prompt Treatment Access
The need for immediate availability of eye surgery is of utmost importance for a multitude of compelling reasons. Above all, swift access to treatment greatly reduces the waiting time, which is vital as prolonged delays can worsen a patient’s declining eyesight, potentially impacting their overall quality of life. Mundane activities like reading, driving, and recognising familiar faces can become increasingly burdensome and challenging.
This leads to frustration, reliance on others, and a loss of personal independence. Moreover, untreated eye conditions may give rise to further complications such as persistent inflammation, glaucoma, or even complete loss of vision in severe cases. Therefore, the sooner patients can receive treatment, the lower the likelihood of complications arising and the faster the restoration of their normal visual capabilities.
Additionally, prompt access to treatment also alleviates the anxiety and stress associated with waiting for a medical procedure, ultimately contributing to an improved state of mental well-being.
