Important Guidelines When Doing Your LASIK Laser Eye Surgery Research

Orange County LASIK Surgeon Dr. Mark Schneider knows what a challenge it can be to find the right vision correction surgeon: qualifications, experience, specializations. There are many factors that go into finding just the right match for you.

That's why Dr. Schneider has created a list of important guidelines to assist you in your search. These guidelines are important because they come directly from a qualified, experienced LASIK surgeon and they give you the 'skinny' on what's really important when researching, interviewing and visiting a LASIK surgeon.

Here are some of Dr. Schneider's Guidelines:

1. Get referrals from other patients, friends, and family.
   
2. Beware of advertisements pushing "low cost" surgery. Discount surgery is just that. The quality of care and technology IS NOT the same. The potential savings are not worth the risk in receiving less than expert care.
   
3. Don't be fooled by fancy advertisements about a particular laser center. Investigate the doctor, not the center. Find out who will actually do your procedure, then ask about that particular doctor's qualifications, (board certification, specialized training, etc.).
   
4. How many actual LASIK procedures has the surgeon performed? Choose a doctor who has done at least 5,000 LASIK procedures.
