subject: What Do You Know About Choosing A Lasik Doctor [print this page] The key to an amazing LASIK outcome lies in the provider. Whether they are qualified directly determines the qualification of the LASIK surgery. In recent years, overwhelming advertisements of discount pricing concerning LASIK can be seen everywhere, which makes people doubt whether such kind of surgery is trustworthy and whether the surgeon can provide the best performance.
Objectively speaking, discount pricing does not mean neither they are bad doctors nor they are good. The discount pricing may originate from their application of out-of-fashion or poorly made equipments, or their application of a big cheap rent in areas that lease payment is not so high.
Therefore, it is your business to do some research related to the surgeon. Here below are some tips to ask so as to choose a good LASIK doctor:
1. What kind of surgery have you ever performed? (This question is asked to check whether he or she is rich in experience in LASIK surgery.)
2. What is your education and training background? (This question is asked to check whether he or she has ever got a certification in LASIK surgery.)
3. What kind of equipments will you use? (although LASIK doctor acts as the main factor to influence a surgery, the equipments account for much as well.)
4. Will you perform the whole process from the beginning to the end?
5. What are things needing special attention during the process of the operation?
6. Are there any post operation procedures? What are they?
7. How many times will I come for the post operation procedures?
8. What are the untoward effects after the surgery? What are the treatments for them?
9. As far as my condition is concerned, what kind of results can I expect from the LASIK?
10. How much money will I cost on the whole?
Although some of these questions may be difficult to ask, remember that what you are asking is closely related to your precious eyes, therefore, it is your big business to find a competent, qualified surgeon in whom you have confidence.
Of course, there may be some other questions that you want to ask, such as " Has the surgical center you use ever had an outbreak of serious eye infection? " and " Can I pay the check by installment ?" and so on so forth. Just ask whatever occur in your mind, and if you are not happy with the answers to your questions by the surgeon, consult another one.
