Cirujano Lasik

LASIK surgery is best for patients who have higher order aberrations which cause nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. LASIK is a good opportunity for those people to have their good vision back. Having a LASIK information checklist will determine if you have all the information needed in the procedure.

Expectations

Expectations refer to the specific goals you have set out for yourself. This means that you know about the alternatives of glasses and contact lenses but would still prefer to have LASIK Surgery because you can state at least two activities in which you would perform better in when you’re not depending on eyeglasses or contact lenses.

Occupation

This means that your work or future work would be compromised by having LASIK Eye Surgery.

Recreational activities

This means that by having LASIK Surgery, you wouldn’t have to sacrifice any of the activities you enjoy doing, but instead, enable you to enjoy them better. You should be able to enjoy these activities more after LASIK surgery than if you’re wearing glasses or contact lenses.

Fees and costs

This is very important to understand because it’s a major concern. This means that you understand all the costs of your surgery and what you have to pay before, during, and after the surgery. The fees include preoperational testing and consultations, the actual surgery, the follow-up consultations after the surgery, the medications needed for the healing process, and fees for necessary enhancements depending on your condition. You should also be able to understand the mode of payment you’re going to have. It should be clear among all parties concerned, whether there is a zero interest on the payment plan you used. Everything should be clear right from the start.

Medical issues

This means that you should be able to communicate any kind of illness or medical condition that could compromise with the LASIK surgery or the healing process after the surgery.

Eye issues

This means that you’ve told all your previous and present eye conditions, other than your history of wearing eyeglasses and contact lenses. If you have been treated previously because of a condition, however minor it is, you have to tell the doctor.

Medications

The doctor should know all the types of medications you have taken and are currently taking to determine whether you are allergic to some kinds of medications. This also because some medications you might have taken could affect the healing process after the surgery.
