You have the right to accurate and easily-understood information about your eye procedure options, eye care professionals, and eye care facilities. If you don't understand something, help should be given so you can make informed eye care decisions.
You have the right to choose an eye care provider who can give you high-quality eye care, at a competitive price, when you need it.
You have the right to know your treatment options and take part in decisions about your care. Parents, guardians, family members, or others that you choose can speak for you if you cannot make your own decisions.
You have a right to considerate, respectful care from your eye surgeon and office staff in a manner that is not discriminatory against you on the basis of basis of race, color, gender, sexual orientation, age, religion, disability, veteran's status or national origin.
You have the right to talk privately with your eye care provider and to have your health care information protected.
You have the right to a fair, fast, and objective review of any complaint you have against your eye doctor or other health care personnel. This includes complaints about waiting times, operating hours, the actions of health care personnel, and the adequacy of health care facilities.
In a health care system that protects consumer or patients' rights, patients should expect to take on the responsibilities of following their pre- and post-surgery instructions. Patients are expected to do things like treat health care workers and other patients with respect, pay their medical bills, and follow the guidance of their eye surgeon and attending medical staff. Having patients involved in their care increases the chance of the best possible outcomes and helps support a high quality, cost-conscious eye care system.
