A second opinion is when another doctor evaluates your eye condition and treatment options. It helps you make an informed decision about your care. Our experienced doctors offer unbiased opinions on any eye care needs. Medical procedures should be carefully considered—contact your eye specialist for a second opinion on treatment or surgery.
You have the right to:

• Understand your treatment options.
• Seek another doctor’s opinion (second opinion).
• Be involved in decisions about your treatment.

When to get a second opinion?

If surgery is recommended for a non-emergency eye problem, consider a second opinion. You may also seek one if major non-surgical procedures or investigations are suggested.

• Request your medical reports from your doctor to avoid repeating tests.
• Ensure the second doctor has an appointment available.
• Prepare a list of questions to ask during the visit.
• Consider bringing a friend or loved one for support.

During the visit

• Inform the second doctor about the surgery you're considering and tests you've had.
• Ask your questions and encourage your companion to ask theirs.
• Be prepared for additional tests as recommended by the second doctor.

• If the second opinion differs, return to your primary doctor to discuss and clarify your concerns.
• If unsure, consider seeking a third opinion. Getting multiple opinions doesn't mean you have to change doctors.
