If you wear corrective lenses, you may dream about being free from having to always wear glasses. You’ve probably heard about LASIK, or laser vision correction, and you may wonder if it’s a way you could lose your glasses once and for all–but how do you know if the procedure’s right for you?
As an Optometrist, I work closely with surgeons to provide my LASIK patients with all of the pre- and post-operative care .
What is it?
LASIK is an outpatient procedure that corrects common vision prescriptions. It’s also known as refractive surgery. More than 12 million people have had LASIK and over one million people a year have some type of laser vision correction.
Where to Start
Start by doing a little homework and asking questions. You only have two eyes, so take care of them!
Get the info. Do some research online and talk to friends or colleagues who’ve had laser vision correction. There’s a ton of information out there and many people are willing to talk about their experience.
Check your benefits. Call your insurance company to find out of you are eligible for coverage or discounts. You can also call our office for more information.
Find the right surgeon. Talk to friends, or talk to us for referrals. We work with only the best Bay Area surgeons. You want a surgeon who is experienced, and whose primary focus is laser vision correction.
Schedule a consultation. You may want to schedule a consultation with a couple of doctors to get a feel for the doctor and staff. Consultations are almost always free, so there’s nothing to lose. Don’t forget to ask about follow-up care during your consultation.
