LASIK Providers 101: How to Choose Your Surgeon

When it comes to your eyesight, it’s simply not enough to shop just by price or location. Choosing the right LASIK surgeon is a critical decision when considering permanent vision correction surgery. 

With numerous providers to choose from, finding an experienced and reputable surgeon becomes essential. We’ll guide you through the process of selecting a LASIK surgeon, so you’ll have all the information you need to make an informed choice for your LASIK vision correction.

1. Get recommendations

Ask around to friends and family members who have gotten LASIK. People who care about you will be eager to point you in the right direction on providers to check out—and perhaps ones to avoid. You should quickly have a great starting list.

2. Check credentials

Look for a surgeon who is board-certified in ophthalmology and who regularly performs LASIK. The more surgeries they have performed, the better, so ask about their experience and success rates. Seek out a provider who has demonstrated proficiency and experience with 100 to 200 surgeries. Or, as with Lake Lazer Eye Center, you can find surgeons who have performed thousands of successful LASIK procedures.

3. See what their patients have to say

There is no substitute for firsthand experience when selecting a LASIK surgery provider. Look for patient testimonials that specifically address LASIK for each provider you are considering. Pay special attention to what patients say about matters that are important to you: That may be the cleanliness of the office or the ability of the surgeon and staff to answer questions to your satisfaction.

4. Schedule a consultation

A one-on-one LASIK consultation is a great opportunity to assess whether a practice and surgeon are a good fit for you. There are several things you can personally assess at your consultation:

Remember, while LASIK is an extremely safe and effective procedure, it’s important to connect with a LASIK surgeon who can provide you with the most accurate results for your unique vision needs.
