Things to Look for in a LASIK Surgeon

It has been shown in numerous studies that the surgeon you choose for your LASIK surgery is a very important factor in the success of your surgery. The surgeon can actually mean the difference between a surgery that is a good experience and a surgery that is a bad experience.


Part of ensuring that you are satisfied with your laser eye surgery is choosing the right surgeon. The following are some important tips for helping you to choose your LASIK surgeon:


- He explains your options. A good LASIK surgeon will explain that there are other options besides surgery fro correcting your vision.


- He completely examines your cornea. Your surgeon should examine your cornea to learn about the condition of your cornea and the exact shape. This will ultimately assist him in the reshaping process during the laser correction surgery.


- He should be able to explain to you about how the cornea ages and how this will effect your vision after the surgery.


- He should be board certified.


- He should have specialized training with the specific procedure and equipment he will be using during your surgery.


- He should be interested in more then just providing you with the surgery. He should talk about the future and how he will be involved to ensure your eyes remain healthy.


- He should never be afraid to answer any question you ask.


- He should be able to fully explain the surgical procedure, including what you should do before, during and after the surgery.


- He should be able to explain what makes a good laser eye correction patient and what may make a person not qualify for the surgery.


In addition to your surgeon you should also check out the surgeon's staff and facility.


- The staff should be friendly and accommodating.


- The staff should be able to explain billing and your help you with any questions.


- The staff should be able to answer general questions.


- The staff should make you feel comfortable.
