Taking the Next Step toward LASIK

If you are interested in LASIK, it is important to consult an experienced eye surgeon and learn everything you can about what to expect from the procedure.

During you initial appointments, you should explain your eye health history to your LASIK surgeon, including whether you have any eye health problems. You should also list any medications you are currently taking.

During your initial LASIK consultation, and at any point in your care, your eye surgeon should provide opportunities for you to ask questions. LASIK is a major decision involving surgical benefits and risks you must weigh. Some questions you should ask include:

• Am I a good candidate for LASIK?
• What are the possible complications?
• How likely are these complications?
• What happens if I experience a complication?
• What should I expect for surgery day and the recovery?

An important part of moving forward with LASIK is learning about the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as the results that are realistically possible. Your decision to move forward with LASIK should be an informed decision.

To learn more about LASIK, please contact an experienced eye doctor in your area.
