Choosing A Lasik Eye Surgeon
Choosing a Lasik eye surgeon to perform your Lasik surgery is a very important decision. The choice can be difficult due to the flood of information as well as misinformation regarding Lasik. Here are some guidelines to help you choose a Lasik eye surgeon.
Experience
There is no substitute for experience to obtain excellent surgical results. You should choose a Lasik doctor who performs numerous Lasik surgeries each week. Experience enables the eye surgeon to handle routine as well as difficult situations should they arise. Your Lasik eye surgeon should be a board certified ophthalmologist who specializes in Lasik and refractive eye surgery.
"Lasik eye surgeon, Dr. Shanbom performed my lasik surgery November 10, 1999. My prescription was -10.00, I had worn glasses since 5th grade and contacts for 30 years. To this day, 8/24/05, I have never needed an enhancement or a touch up. The way Dr. Shanbom did my lasik and gave me mono vision; I don't even need reading glasses. Lasik surgery is the best thing I ever did for myself." - Judy
Commitment
You should choose a Lasik eye surgeon who is committed to achieving an excellent result for you. They should personally examine your eyes pre-operatively as well as assessing your post-operative result. Be aware, there are some Lasik eye surgeons who only perform the operation, and rely on others for pre and post-operative examinations. In addition, your Lasik eye surgeon should provide an enhancement of your Lasik surgery (within the first 6 months), at no additional cost, if necessary to fine tune your vision.
Results
Meticulous attention to detail is often the difference between good results and surgical excellence. Careful evaluation, proper surgical planning, accurate setting of the laser and superb surgical technique ensure excellent results. Choose a Lasik eye surgeon who carefully tracks their surgical outcomes, and is constantly fine tuning their technique as well as staying on the cutting edge of new technology.
Confidence
Above all, you should choose a Lasik eye surgeon in whom you feel confident and comfortable with ability to educate you on your surgical options, and achieve an excellent surgical result for you.
