LASIK Eye Surgery
One of the most popular cosmetic surgeries
today is LASIK corrective eye surgery. LASIK
is a simple procedure that changes the surface
of your eye into a lens that compensates
for any shortcomings that cause nearsightedness,
farsightedness, and even astigmatism. Generally,
the results are excellent with patients receiving
perfect or near perfect vision at a very
low complication rate.
How do you choose the right doctor
for you?
- Work closely with your current optometrist
or ophthalmologist to determine whether you
would be a good candidate for LASIK. Your
regular eye doctor plays an important role
in preparation and follow-up after the procedure.
- Experience - as low as the complication rate
is, it drops even lower for doctors who have
performed thousands of procedures over several
years.
- Equipment used - your doctor will use a laser
to correct your vision, and not all lasers
are the same. Newer lasers are better than
older systems, and the newest can be used
for custom LASIK, an improvement over previous
procedures in increasing the sharpness of
your vision while reducing the potential
side effects of glare.
