Cirujano Lasik

A lot of people have asked this question A LOT of times from the initial consult until minutes before the actual surgery. But they can’t be blamed. The word surgery often scares the bejesus out of most patients, and some patients just can’t handle the thought of someone poking them in the eye.

What patients have to remember though is that they are dealing with qualified and skilled surgeons—unless this is true, in which case they are entitled to panic and doubt. During the surgery, the surgeon has his foot stepping on a pedal that controls the beam that goes in the eye. Surgeons are skilled and are sensitive enough to remove their foot on the pedal when they feel the slightest movement from the patient, hence preventing any risk to the surgery. After the patient has relaxed once again, the surgeon repositions the beam to the target in the cornea and proceeds to finish the surgery.
