⌛ ACES Laser Eye Center now open

"I think ACES has ISO certification"

But do they??? And if so, which one?

 

That's for Echir to be answered, not by me.
I only react to your reaction, Knowdafish.
But you know now a bit more of THIS fish (jellyfish), Knowdafish ?

 

I guess the whole clinic itself as indicated in their logo:

 

are we talking about LASIK procedure or laser equipment ? LASIK is the procedure done to your eye so you can see better or regain 20/20 vision, while LASER IS THE EQUIPMENt that is used for the procedure and other procedure from teeth whitening and etc. which one?

 

Nice one, you can have your teeth whitened while having your peepers lasered

 

In the context of ISO 9001:2000 (and ISO 9001:2008) or ISO 14001:2004, “certification” refers to the issuing of written assurance (the certificate) by an independent external body that it has audited a management system and verified that it conforms to the requirements specified in the standard.

“Registration” means that the auditing body then records the certification in its client register. So, the organization’s management system has been both certified and registered.

Therefore, in the ISO 9001:2000 (and ISO 9001:2008) or ISO 14001:2004 context, the difference between the two terms is not significant and both are acceptable for general use. “Certification” is the term most widely used worldwide, although registration is often preferred in North America, and the two are used interchangeably.

On the contrary, using “accreditation” as an interchangeable alternative for certification or registration is a mistake, because it means something different.

In the ISO 9001:2000 (and ISO 9001:2008) or ISO 14001:2004 context, accreditation refers to the formal recognition by a specialized body – an accreditation body – that a certification body is competent to carry out ISO 9001:2000 (and ISO 9001:2008) or ISO 14001:2004 certification in specified business sectors.

In simple terms, accreditation is like certification of the certification body. Certificates issued by accredited certification bodies may be perceived on the market as having increased credibility.

I just thought I'd post it because it peeked my interest. I learned something today. yehey!

Those having laser eye surgery make sure that you get some sort of warrantee that the clinic will do "touch up work" when your vision deteriorate again and it will, some faster than others. The cornea has a tendency to grow back, like any other living things, so your vision will be blurry again. May not be as bad as when you had the surgery but it could be enough that would require you to wear glasses again. It is not unusual for most Laser Eye clinic to offer this service like an insurance. For a few bucks more you get an extended warrantee or a lifetime retouch if needed.

If the doctor tells you that you will not need a retouch, run the other way. Mostly it takes about 10-12 years before significant blurring returns. The sad part about this is that, they may give you a lifetime warrantee (for a fee) but will the business still be there 10-15 years from the time you had your procedure?
