LASIK-Choose a Surgeon
00:58
Choosing a LASIK Surgeon is an important factor.
Welcome to DocShop's Patient Education Page devoted to choosing a LASIK surgeon.
Your first step in the pursuit of LASIK vision correction is finding an experienced, qualified physician whom you can trust. Your eye care specialist will be able to determine your candidacy for LASIK, as well as advise you on the intricacies of the procedure.
First, you should never base your choice of physician on cost, or the type of LASIK technology he or she uses. Referrals from others about their experiences with LASIK and research into a surgeon's reputation is a good place to start. And keep in mind that an ad for a LASIK physician you saw in a magazine should also be researched to ensure the doctor is reputable.
LASIK surgeons should be involved in the process from the preoperative exam through the follow-up examinations after surgery. Also, make sure your LASIK surgeon discusses, in detail, risks and complications of the procedure and answers all of your questions.
A detailed overview of what to look for in a LASIK surgeon is on this web-page, and you can contact a physician near you right here at DocShop.
