Ask your friends and family
Do you know anyone that has had LASIK surgery? How was their experience? Word of mouth and personal experiences are often very helpful in making the decision on what surgeon or practice to choose. Dr. Lee recommends you ask around and do your research on your LASIK surgeon on the internet.
Meet the doctor at your LASIK consultation
You might be surprised, but at many LASIK practices may not get to meet the surgeon at your initial consultation. Although practices have very competent technicians and staff performing many tests at your LASIK consultation, be sure you get a chance to meet your surgeon. Make sure you feel comfortable with him or her before your procedure day.
Ask questions!
These are your eyes, and you are entitled to ask as many questions at your consultation as you wish! There is no bad question…your understanding of the procedure, about the surgeon and facility, along with expectations should be made very clear before you schedule your procedure,
