If you're preparing to have permanent vision correction surgery at a LASIK clinic, you are probably looking forward to the glorious days in your near future when you'll never have to wear glasses or contacts again. But you should still remain realistic about your LASIK surgery - there is always the chance that some complications could occur like infection or injury. Lessen your chances of having to deal with LASIK surgery injuries by following these tips on how to avoid them.
STEP 2:
Choose a good surgeon. Your best chance of coming out of the LASIK surgery without injury is by getting the best surgeon you can. Spare no expense - these are your eyes we're talking about here, and they can't be replaced. Educate yourself about the process of LASIK, and then find out about the track records of a few different LASIK eye surgeons that you're considering. If you can, talk to past patients of those same eye surgeons, and see how satisfied they were. Choose an eye surgeon that comes with a flawless reputation, who works at a reputable clinic and who comes highly recommended by many people.
Find out about the equipment your eye surgeon will be using as well. Not all of the lasers in LASIK offices are of the same quality. So you will find that, in general, some machines have higher complication rates than others. Check to see if the machines your surgeon will be using have been the subject of any recalls. And of course, ensure that the machine is approved for use in the U.S. (or Canada, depending on where you live.) You can generally find out all of the information about the LASIK machine being used on you by searching the internet. All you'll need is the make and model of the laser.
STEP 3:
Opt for the specialized procedure. You need to sit through an intense consultation at a LASIK office in order for them to rate' your eyes. After this, they'll generally offer you two options. One is a cheaper, but not specifically formulated to treat the imperfections in your eye. And the other, more expensive options, is custom-tailored to your eyes. Choose the higher-quality procedure. Especially if you have thin corneas, early cataracts formation, big pupils, or other medical conditions like Lupus and rheumatoid arthritis, you want to make sure that you undergo the LASIK procedure that is best suited to your eyes' condition. This will increase your chances of avoiding LASIK surgeries injuries like halos, starbursts and poor night vision the most.
