Choosing a LASIK Surgeon

If you are planning on getting LASIK vision correction, then choosing your surgeon is one of the most important parts of the procedure. The choice you make in a surgeon can make a huge impact on the success of your surgery and how well the surgery goes for you.


You hold the sole responsibility of making the choice of the best surgeon to perform your LASIK eye surgery. You should choose your surgeon carefully. If you choose the wrong surgeon you could really regret it later.


When choosing your LASIK surgeon consider the following:
- Education - Make sure he is trained to perform the LASIK procedure he will used on you and trained to use the equipment he will use on you. Do not hesitate to check his education background out.


- Experience - Both with performing the LASIK surgery and with using the equipment he will use in your surgery. There are many different procedures, methods and types of equipment. Just because a surgeon has performed LASIK before does not mean he has used the particular method or equipment that he will use during your procedure before. Make sure he knows what he is doing.


- Customer Satisfaction - Speak with previous patients and find out about their experience.


- Willingness to Answer questions - Your surgeon should be happy to answer all your questions. You should not feel rushed by him or like you are bothering him with your questions.


- Information he gives you - Your surgeon should fully explain the risks, the procedure, your responsibilities before, during and after the surgery and information about what constitutes a good LASIK candidate.


- Financing - While this should not be the sole reason you choose a surgeon, it has to be an important part of your choice. Most insurance companies will not pay for LASIK, so that means you are going to have to pay for it. If your surgeon is not willing to work with you on financing then you probably can not use them.


Choosing the wrong surgeon could spell big trouble. If a surgeon is not experienced or educated then you could risk problems with your surgery. If you do not choose your surgeon carefully then you could have problems like:
- Under or Over Correction
- Glares or Halos
- Dry Eyes
- Permanent Eye Damage


Your eyes are important and you should take every step you can to ensure that you choose the best surgeon to perform your LASIK eye surgery.
