Choosing The Right Laser Eye Surgeon
If you’re going to let someone perform surgery on the part of your body that gives you the most important of your five senses (your eyes), you want to make sure that you are comfortable with your choice of surgeon.
Your choice of surgeon will be based on your individual expectations and needs, and by asking questions which will help you to decide what you are comfortable with, you will be able to determine whether a laser eye surgery practice is right for you.
Some of the questions you might ask could include:
- Is the surgeon happy to take as much time as is required to answer all my questions and allay any fears that I may have?
- Will the doctor who performs the surgery be the one who performs all my follow up care?
- Will I have a personal consultation with the surgeon before my surgery?
- Do I feel comfortable with the staff at the surgery centre, including non-surgical staff.
- Does the centre offer financing options if I require them? Are the terms reasonable?
- Does my fee include all post-operative care and any medications I may require?
- Will the surgeon be available to perform any emergency post-operative care should the need arise?
- Do the staff seem rushed or stressed? Do they appear to have time to do their job properly?
By asking, and answering these questions to your satisfaction, you’ll be in a position to make an informed, educated decision when choosing your laser eye surgery centre.
