College of Surgeons

One of the professional bodies in this field is The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO). If you want to find a certified AAO member in your area, to the web site at http://www.aao.org/aao/find_eyemd.cfm and use the search function.

You’ll need to enter your city, State and Country and then choose "Refractive Surgery" in the "Specialty" selection box; leave the "Last Name" box blank.

You’ll have to "Accept" the disclaimer, after which you’ll get a list of qualified refractive surgeons in your city.

You’ll see the letters FACS after the names of some of these members. This means they are also "Fellows" (members) of the American College of Surgeons; in competence and conduct.

That wonderful resource Wikipedia has a good history section at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasik together with explanations of the lasik procedure, and information about safety and possible complications. They also provide you with some external links and other information related to Lasik.

If you’re looking for health information, one of the most-used pages on the Internet is WebMD (the home page is at http://www.webmd.com/).

Enter "refractive surgery" in the search box and you’ll find links to a huge supply of authoritative medical articles to help you research lasiksurgery.

And of course, you can always use Google to search the net to help you gather Lasik Eye Surgery Info.
