Comprehensive Lasik Answers
You’ll find one of the most comprehensive sites at All About Vision, http://www.allaboutvision.com/. It deals with
much more than just lasik, with a wide range of information on all aspects of vision correction, from glasses to
advanced Lasik procedures.
The discussions on Lasik procedures are solid and in depth; there’s also a two-minute screening test with a
personalised report that will help you decide if you’re a good candidate for Lasik.
You’ll see a lot of advertising for various vision products, and even coupon offers.
Next up is an information-heavy site, AboutLasikEyeSurgery.com, which you’ll find at
http://www.aboutlasikeyesurgery.com/. You’ll find details on cost, a description of what the pre-op examination
entails, the actual surgical procedures and finally post-operative care.
At http://www.complicatedeyes.org/ you’ll find a site run by an organisation that says it is there specifically
to cater for the needs of patients who have LASIK complications, and at the same time to provide more information
on lasik complications for the doctors themselves.
The organization behind ComplicatedEyes.org is the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (CRSQA); the
organisation has generated some heat and controversy on the Web, so read and evaluate with care.
If you’d like to see simple, illustrated explanations of the whole process, try The Vision Correction Website at
http://www.lasersite.com/.
It covers matters such as how the eye works; the structure of the eye; the equipment used in Lasik procedures;
and other procedures such as Intacs, PRK (which states for Photo Refractive Keratectomy) and Radial Keratotomy
(RK).
