We can discuss refractive-surgery considerations and help patients understand when a surgical consultation may be appropriate.
Considering LASIK
LASIK is a refractive procedure intended to reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses for some patients. Candidacy depends on prescription, corneal health, age, medical history, and other factors.
Pre- and Post-Operative Eye Care
Optometrists often participate in evaluations before refractive surgery and routine follow-up after a procedure in coordination with the surgical provider.
A Personalized Decision
Surgery is not appropriate for everyone. A complete eye examination and consultation with a qualified surgeon are important before deciding on a procedure.
