What Does a Private Diplopia Surgery Package Include?

A private double vision surgery package is an all-inclusive pricing structure that bundles the primary costs of your procedure into a single, transparent fee. This approach provides financial clarity and avoids unexpected bills.

The All-Inclusive Approach to Double Vision Correction

Double vision, or diplopia, can disrupt your ability to work, drive, and navigate daily life. An all-inclusive package simplifies the financial commitment by combining fees for the surgeon, anaesthetist, hospital, and post-operative care into one figure. This contrasts with a fragmented approach where each service is billed separately, which can lead to financial uncertainty.

Core Components: A Detailed Breakdown

Understanding Each Component: Surgeon, Anaesthetist, and Hospital Fees

The Surgeon’s Fee: Expertise and Experience

The surgeon’s fee is the most significant component, reflecting the specialist’s training, experience, and skill. For adult diplopia surgery, this fee covers more than time in the operating theatre. It includes analysis of your eye measurements, formulation of a surgical plan, and the procedure, which may involve techniques like adjustable sutures. With a consultant like Mr Nadeem Ali, this fee represents over two decades of ophthalmic experience, including 13 years as a Consultant at Moorfields Eye Hospital, focused on adult squint and double vision.

Anaesthetist and Hospital Costs: Safety and Comfort

The anaesthetist is responsible for your safety and comfort. Their fee covers a pre-operative fitness assessment, administering the anaesthetic, and monitoring your vital signs during and after the operation. Hospital costs cover the surgical infrastructure, including the sterile operating theatre, surgical microscopes and instruments, nursing staff, and the recovery area.

Beyond the Operation: Comprehensive Post-Operative Care and Support

Included Aftercare: Follow-ups and Essential Medication

The package fee includes all standard follow-up appointments. These visits allow the surgeon to monitor your eye alignment, check healing, and adjust your care plan. You will typically be seen multiple times in the weeks and months after surgery. The package also includes essential post-operative medications, primarily antibiotic and anti-inflammatory eye drops, to prevent infection and control inflammation.

Peace of Mind: Re-operation Policy and Dedicated Support

The London Squint Clinic provides two key features. First, a re-operation policy: if your vision is worse at three months post-surgery, a re-operation is provided. Second, 24/7 WhatsApp access to the clinical team during the initial recovery period provides answers to any concerns.

What’s Not Included: Clarifying the Scope of Your Package

Initial Consultation and Pre-Operative Assessments

The initial consultation with Mr Ali is a separate fee. This diagnostic step confirms your suitability for surgery, discusses outcomes, and formulates a preliminary surgical plan, where the package details are explained. Extensive diagnostic tests beyond standard pre-operative checks, such as specialised imaging, may also be billed separately.

Non-Standard Medications or Additional Services

Non-standard or specialised medications for specific clinical needs may fall outside the package fee. Services unrelated to the diplopia surgery, and travel or accommodation costs, are not included. The table below summarises the distinction.
