Finding a good LASIK MD is essential to getting the best surgical results. LASIK is not an exact science, and some style and finesse is required. A good LASIK MD will be able to evaluate the needs of each specific patient and tailor each LASIK surgery to meet those needs. The most important quality good LASIK surgeons share is experience. Experience enables a surgeon to have a high level of comfort with laser equipment and to make sound judgments in unpredictable situations. You want to find a surgeon who has performed thousands of LASIK surgeries, and hundreds of them within the last year. The LASIK field is constantly changing, so make sure your surgeon is up to date on the latest practices. How to Choose a LASIK MD
In order to differentiate a good LASIK MD from a not so good LASIK MD, consider the doctor's surgery statistics. How many patients have had their vision corrected to 20/20; how many have had complications; how many have needed enhancements after the initial operation? Is the surgeon board-certified? Board-certified ophthalmologists have special training in eye care, not just a medical degree and license. You should also consider the other doctors at the LASIK center. Are they all well-qualified? Reputable doctors will not go into practice with substandard partners. At Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, you will find three exceptionally qualified, board-certified ophthalmologists to perform your LASIK eye surgery with expertise.
