All laser lasik is the best technique the world of optometry has to offer.  All laser means no need for scalpels, no scarring and no anesthesia- which means safer, faster and better results. For a patient this means a faster recovery time.  If you are thinking about an all laser lasik procedure, here are some helpful hints:

• You must consult your doctor.  This is without a doubt the first thing that you must do.  You need to know if this procedure will be of benefit to your eyesight.  You may think your eyes are bad, but they may not be at the point where a surgery is your option.  Ask your doctor and they will tell you if it is worth it for your health and eyes.
• Research the all laser lasik procedure yourself.  You need to know what to expect and what may happen.
• Find a doctor with experience in the field.  You do not want this to be his or her first surgery.
• Check with your health care provider to see if this is covered by your policy.
• If you think of a question for your doctor, do not hesitate to ask.  The more you know, the easier the procedure will be on you.
