Complaints Procedure 

Optilase operates a complaints procedure. Patients are asked that, in the event of any complaint, they speak or write to the Clinic Manager based in the clinic they wish to make a complaint about. 

If you are unhappy with your clinic managers response to your complaint, or if you do not feel comfortable raising your complaint with your clinic manager, please send your complaint in writing to Optilase or email info@optilase.com. 

Our complaints procedure is designed to make sure that we settle any complaints as quickly as possible. We shall acknowledge complaints within 2 working days and aim to have investigated the complaint within 21 working days of the date when it was raised.  We shall then be able to offer an explanation, or a meeting as appropriate.  If there are any delays in the process, we will keep the complainant informed. 

When we investigate a complaint, we shall aim to: 

• find out what happened and what went wrong  
• make it possible for the complainant to discuss the problem with those concerned  
• make sure the complainant receives an apology where appropriate  
• identify what we can do to make sure the problem does not happen again. 

At the end of the investigation the complaint will be discussed with the complainant in detail, either in person or in writing. 

In Northern Ireland the clinics management of complaints is inspected and regulated by the RQIA who act as a Regulator only, and can be contacted if you are not happy with the complaint response: 

If a family member or friend is making a complaint on your behalf, we must have your written consent to discuss your care and any issues they raise concerning your treatment with us. uest.

We have a no tolerance policy for all forms of abuse and antisocial behaviour and in the interest of the safety and wellbeing of other patients and staff we reserve the right to refuse service to any customers who show anti-social or aggressive behaviour.
