What should I take into consideration when looking for a lasik eye surgeon?

rswilson3 — Fri, 30 Jul 2010 03:36:45 +0000

If I want lasik surgery, how do I find the most reputable DR? Do insurance companies cover any of it? I’m trying to sort all this out, I’ve been considering it. I don’t want to pay too much, but I don’t want to pay to little at the expense of my eyes. What should I be looking for?

Depending where you live a good surgeon costs about $3,000 and up depending on what your prescription is. I would ask how long they have been doing Laisk and how many procedures they have done, and how many they do weekly or monthly. Moist insurances do not cover lasik, they might pay a couple hundred dollars. The best way to find out if a surgeon is good at lasik is by word of mouth. A nationwide clinic like TLC is a good bet. I know they hire well qualified surgeons and do tons of lasik weekly.

Be sure you know, though, what type, if any, of after surgery eye care your surgeon will want you to perform. Usually, there is little to no after surgery care necessary. Every lasik surgeon has his or her own after care procedures, so make sure you know what your particular surgeon requires.

Too, occasionally, as with any surgery, you need to be aware that something could go wrong. You will want to be sure you fully understand the risks involved and get your surgeon to tell you about them in depth. You will also want to make arrangements just in case you should have to miss an extra few days of work if for any reason everything does not go smoothly with your surgery.

Truly, after your lasik surgery, you should have no discomfort or side effects—and you’ll be able to see without your glasses within a day or so as your eyes heal from the surgery. Results, though, are practically immediate and you’ll be happily amazed at the dramatic change. So don’t delay, make your appointment for lasik surgery as soon as possible and say good bye to your glasses!
