As
described – a
lasik surgery is a surgery with lots of risks. Some risks
depend on the vision errors a patient had before surgery. Another main
factor is the doctor. It is important to find the right surgeon for the
surgery the patient needs.
How
to find the right Lasik doctor
Here
are some general advises
-
A
patient should always compare several doctors. One of the factors a
patient should look for is the experience and success rate a doctor has
with the specific type of surgery the patient needs.
-
The
search for the “right doctor” should and simply be based on cost, as a
lasik
surgery is a surgery for the rest of the life.
-
A patient
should ask for the patient handbook from the manufactorer of the device
which is used for the surgeries and read it carefully.
-
This
device should be approved for the specific surgery( f.x. for far or
nearsighted people, or stigmatism)
-
A doctor
should discuss his outcomes and experiences with that laser / device with
the patient. As well as the doctor should discuss his expectations with
the patient.
-
Never
should a person which is related to the patient (doctors or f.x. family
members) put pressure on the patient. It is the patient´s decision to
make a surgery or not and this decision needs time.
