Eye laser surgery has become one of the most popular forms of vision correction. Just keep in mind that LASIK is a surgical procedure, and the outcome will affect you for the rest of your life. In addition to finding a surgeon who uses the most advanced LASIK technology, here are some factors to consider when selecting a surgeon:- Does the surgeon personally examine the patient before and after the surgery?
- Is the price so low that patients are attracted by price rather than the quality of the surgeon?
- Does the surgeon treat any patient complications that arise, or are they referred to a corneal specialist?
