Consultation for Lasik?
I want to see if I qualify to get Lasik or some other laser vision correction surgery, but I want a second opinion.
Does the Lasik doctor I schedule my consulation with need my eye records or not?
The lasik doctor will do any additionally tests if necessary, but you basic eye exam records may be needed.

Lasik eye surgery is rather safe if only you area a suitable candidate. As with any surgery, risk is a definite risk incurred. You must be screened for suitability and examined by the doctor personally. (Not the sales team to mislead you to get expensive package deal).
If you are a suitable candidate, the risk maybe :-
1.)Dry eyes (temporary)
2.)Regression/ enhancement
3.)Infection (3-5/20,000 for the next 3 weeks)
4.)Flap/ complication of treatment (rare)
5.)Miscellaneous
Always insist on seeing the doctor performing the surgery for you. It is the due deligent of him or her to present the risk and benefit to you in detail personally.
