Premium member Presentation Transcript – LASIK Plano – What To Ask Your Surgeon About The Procedure: Although LASIK is considered generally safe and usually can be done with little or no complications, there are certain inherent risks associated with it. Given the fact that these are your eyes we are talking about, and the consequences of such complications could have a dramatic, negative effect on your lifestyle, it is highly suggested that you take the time to properly evaluate the laser eye surgeon you are considering. – LASIK Plano – What To Ask Your Surgeon About The Procedure LasikPlano.comLasikPlano.com: LasikPlano.com The following are the questions to ask your eye surgeon when considering LASIK in Plano : LasikPlano.comHow many surgeries have you done?: How many surgeries have you done? It can’t be stressed enough – experience is everything when it comes to laser eye surgery. Although each Plano doctor has to become certified by various medical boards to be licensed to perform LASIK, the medical professionals that have had the most experience generally are able to produce the highest quality and most consistent results for their patients. Make sure any surgeon can tell you how many surgeries they’ve done and what type of surgery they’ve performed the most. They should have performed at least 250 in the past 12 months. When it comes to the type of laser eye surgery you’re getting done specifically, they should have performed at least 100 surgeries within the last 12 months. LasikPlano.comWill you do a contrast sensitivity test before and after the procedure?: Will you do a contrast sensitivity test before and after the procedure? Most surgeons don’t perform this test because it’s not required and not a standard procedure. However, a good surgeon will offer this test, even if they don’t have the equipment to do so right in their office. Having this test done is just an extra layer of security and will generally instill a greater confidence in the patient and may also minimize the risk of complications. It is not mandatory that you have this test, however it is recommended and many people do choose to take these few extra steps. Again, it’s expensive and not many surgeons have it readily available. They should be able to set up an appointment for you though, at your expense, at another location near Plano. LasikPlano.comWill you measure the thickness of my cornea before a decision about surgery is made?: Will you measure the thickness of my cornea before a decision about surgery is made? This is a very important question because the thickness of your cornea could ultimately determine what kind of laser eye surgery you should get done. Make sure that any surgeon you’re considering can answer ‘yes’ to this question. Knowing what type of laser eye surgery would be best suited for you and your particular situation can help you better evaluate the doctor that you are considering and verify that they do have sufficient experience in a particular type of laser eye surgery that you may require. LasikPlano.comHow many of your patients have 20/40 vision after the procedure?: How many of your patients have 20/40 vision after the procedure? This should be about 90%. If your eye doctor claims that their percentage is higher, ask to see something that proves that. These statistics are not set in stone necessarily, however, historically on a national average, these are the types of results that most people experience. Of course, your results may vary depending on the health and condition of your eyes and any other health considerations that may come into play should you decide to get LASIK in Plano. LasikPlano.comHow long has LASIK surgery been performed?: How long has LASIK surgery been performed? LASIK surgery has been in use internationally for approximately 10 years. The clinical trials were first performed in the United States in 1995. The underlying components of LASIK eye surgery have been performed for much longer than that, so the procedure has helped hundreds of thousands of people all around the world, including Plano, TX. It is a relatively safe and simple procedure; however there are certain inherent risks and the patient should always consider all aspects of the surgery before considering this procedure.
