Lasik Eye Surgery Doctor - How to choose 

In many areas you will have to make a choice between one lasik eye surgery doctor and another.

Choosing the right one is probably the most important decision you can make when you consider Lasik vision correction.

There is no right or wrong way to choose, but the following points are worth some thought.

Probably the most important factor to consider is experience.

There is a lot of evidence that a more experienced Lasik eye surgeon has a lower  “problem” rate. Reports put the problem rate for new surgeons at 5%; with experience this figure normally drops to less than 1%.

Some people believe that the magic number is 1000 - the number of procedures a lasik surgeon must have performed to be considered experienced.

Ask around. Try to find friends or acquaintances who can talk from personal experience, or who can introduce you to someone who can. Word or mouth can be misleading, but it can also be very accurate.

Talk to the doctor and/or optician who normally look after your eyes; they will have a good idea of who is available in your area, and who is to be trusted.
