What should I ask my LASIK Surgery?
Filed Under Finding a LASIK surgery
It’s important to do your homework before selecting a LASIK Surgery. Below, are some questions you can ask prospective surgeons …
- How long have you been performing refractive surgery?
You would look at an answer of not less than three years. - How many refractive procedures have you performed in the last 12 months?
- What percentage of your refractive surgery patients receive Uncorrected Visual Acuity (UCVA) of 20/20 or better?
- Will you perform a complete refractive examination including evaluating the medical health of my eyes both before and after surgery?
- If you recommend LASIK, will you use a laser to create the flap or a mechanical microkeratome?
- Will you use a different microkeratome blade (LASIK procedure) for each eye?
- What should I expect my vision to be like for the first few weeks after surgery?
