Lasik
Eye Surgery
The
key to safe surgery in any field of medicine is an informed
patient. Take time to research the LASIK center you
are considering for surgery. Drs. Robert K. Maloney
and Franklin W. Lusby offer the following guidelines
to quality care and treatment.

How
to Choose a Laser Surgeon
|
|
|
1. Find a doctor by getting referrals
from other doctors or from patients who
have had laser vision correction.
2.
Don't be fooled by fancy advertisements
about a particular laser center. Choose
the doctor, not the laser center. Find out
who will actually do your procedure, then
ask about that doctor's qualifications (e.g.,
board certification, special training).
3.
Choose a doctor who has done at least
5,000 LASIK surgeries. What a doctor doesn't
know can hurt you.
