LASIK Provider Checklist
A very important decision to make when considering LASIK laser vision correction is your LASIK Surgeon. Below is a checklist of questions you should ask your LASIK surgeon prior to scheduling surgery:
- Do they offer the most current technology available for LASIK surgery?
- Is the equipment located in a "fixed" environment, not a portable system?
-
How experienced in LASIK surgery is your doctor?
- Does your surgeon live and work in the community where the laser facility is located?
-
Will the surgeons meet with you during pre-op, surgery and post-op?
-
How long will each visit take?
-
Does the center have an FDA approved laser to correct Myopia (nearsightedness), Hyperopia (farsightedness) and Astigmatism?
-
Is the LASIK surgery area medically clean with a climate controlled atmosphere?
-
Have any doctors/staffs had the LASIK procedure?
-
What does the LASIK cost include?
-
Are there additional fees for future enhancements, if needed?
