How To Pick A Lasik Eye Surgeon
LASIK is referred to the surgery performed on the
human eye to reshape the cornea, which eventually
produces clearer vision and also reduces the
person’s needs to wear spectacles or contact lenses.
The short form of LASIK is Laser-Assisted In Situ
Keratomileusis. LASIK involves the use of a laser
which is directed on the cornea of the eye to
correct vision problems in a human being. LASIK
is used to correct eye problems like myopia and
astigmatism. The laser works on the eye by
removing an exact amount of tissue from the
cornea to restore clear vision in the patient. Today
LASIK includes the use of new wave front guided
technology in the custom LASIK system which
provides better results than before.

Today we lay more emphasis on the how to pick a good San Diego LASIK eye surgeon. Though
LASIK is not as difficult as other eye operations, care should be taken to see that it is being carried
out by a professional doctor, as the eye is one of the most delicate organs of the human body. After
all, the entire human eye is the most precious sense of the human body. You may find many
advertisements in the newspapers offering LASIK surgery at affordable costs. You should always
remember not to approach a particular surgeon just because he is offering his services at lower costs.
In fact the cost of the surgery should be the last thing on your mind. Do not assume too much from
advertising and make your own conclusions. Find out more about the reputation of the doctor or the
institute from other sources like the consumer bureau or your friends or relatives. Find out if the
surgeon is associated with any reputable medical center or a medical hospital. You can also ask your
ophthalmologist to recommend good surgeons for LASIK. You can visit websites like the American
Academy of Ophthalmology to get more information on a particular surgeon.
Also you should select a surgeon who is well versed with the latest techniques and procedures and
keeps himself up to date of all the new information that is available in medical journals and
bulletins. Ask the surgeon since how many years he is being practicing LASIK surgery. Ask him
only about LASIK and no other eye related surgeries. A good surgeon should be performing
refractive surgery for a minimum of 3 years and also he should have performed more than 500
surgeries at least.
Before going in for a surgery, it is necessary to make an appointment of consultation with the
surgeon that you have finally selected. A good surgeon will conduct a thorough test on your eyes
and then suggest the best procedure for you. He will explain to you the process in detail and also tell
you the benefits after the surgery. The surgeon may tell you to follow some pre-operation
procedures like applying eye drops some days before the operation. A good surgeon will always
make you feel at ease before the operation, during the operation and after the operation. After
consultation it is not necessary that you go for the surgeon. In case you are not comfortable with the
surgeon then you can take a second opinion.
Also it is prudent to go for a surgeon who treats you like a friend and instills some confidence in
you. He should be able to provide you a personal touch and should work hard to address your
concerns and clear your doubts. A surgeon’s responsibility does not get over once the surgery is
performed. He should check your eyes a week after your surgery and then recommend treatment
procedures if any. In short he should be available whenever he is needed for anything even after the
surgery.
