Which LASIK Surgeon Is Right For You?

Have you determined if you are the right candidate for LASIK laser surgery by considering all the things that can go wrong, and looking at all the available options? If you have, and you still think it is the right thing to do, then the next logical step is to start looking for a LASIK surgeon.

Even though the risks associated with LASIK are relatively smaller than other conventional types of surgery, you should still take researching a LASIK surgeon seriously. Do your homework by compiling a set of criteria and evaluating each surgeon against this set of criteria.

Carefully consider what each LASIK surgeon regard as their procedure of choice. Do they use the traditional LASIK that uses a blade to make the incision or do they prefer “bladeless” InterLase lasers to make all the cuts. Ask them as to what they regard as the most reliable and what they mostly use.

Don’t limit your criteria to cost or experience alone, but look at what you feel most comfortable with. This decision will affect you for the rest of your life, so don’t do something to please anyone.

Be skeptical about claims such as “20/20 vision” or “your money back guarantees.” Once you vision is messed up, no amount of money may be able to restore it. Go as far as checking these doctors against the consumer affairs office or better business bureau to verify that they are in good standing. Know and understand your rights as it relates to surgery and LASIK in general.

Appreciate what can happen during the surgery and ask your potential LASIK surgeon how he/she would deal with a situation that could potentially end a procedure. Mistakes can happen which can lead to your eyes damaged permanently without even a chance to have corrective surgery.

Also ask your LASIK surgeon how he/she would handle the following situations that may come up after surgery. For example:

-the migration of the flap,

-the inflammation or infection,

-intensive eye drop treatments, or

-additional procedures that may be necessary after

the initial surgery.

There is a FDA standard that all LASIK surgeons are held to, which relates to the type of laser used during the surgery. Find out what type of laser your potential LASIK surgeon uses and compare it to the FDA’s approved list.

    Hello

    You would need the recommendation of a good medical tourism consultant as well as the service of a very experienced optical/lasik surgeon of India if you are planning to take a lasik treatment in India. Before taking a lasik surgery in India you should check that you are not afflicted with cataract, any eye infection moreover you should be an adult,as childrens and even teenagers have been prohibited for a lasik treatment.

    Good luck with everything and I wish you good health!

    you should opt for Ortho K lenses instead of Lasik Surgery .these lenses are overnight lenses ,just you have to wear it in the night while sleeping and in the morning you have to remove it.whole day you dont require any spectacle or contact lenses.After Three weeks u have to wear it jsut twice in a week while sleeping and 2-3 days there will not be need for specs or any contact lenses.
    Different hospitals in Delhi like Shroff Charity Hospital, Daryaganj(Dr. Manisha Acharya),St. Parmanad Hopsital,Mall Road,Venu Eye INSTITUTE,sHEIK SARAI(Dr. Raminder Bakshi)are doing it.
