How to Choose an IntraLASIK Doctor

Your eyesight is one of the most precious gifts you have. When you need assistance to improve or correct your vision, it is important to choose your doctor carefully. He or she should be certified and well-trained in the procedure you are considering, be able to answer your questions knowledgably, and be as invested in maintaining your valuable sight as you are.

An increasingly popular form of vision correction surgery is IntraLASIK. IntraLASIK uses a second laser instead of a microkeratome (blade) to create the LASIK corneal flap. After you better understand the IntraLase method, you should learn as much as possible about the doctor and vision center you select for the procedure. Below are five questions you can ask to help you choose the right IntraLASIK surgeon.

1. Have you been trained and certified to perform IntraLASIK?
2. How long have you been performing the IntraLASIK?
3. How many IntraLASIK procedures have you performed?
4. Are you certified by the American Board of Ophthalmology?
5. Can you offer the names and contact information of some previous patients similar to me who had IntraLASIK done?

Dr. Carter is willing to answer your questions openly and even provides you with further guidelines for selecting an IntraLASIK surgeon. Using the above five questions, you may not be able to immediately obtain all the information you need, but an eye surgeon who sincerely intends to provide you with the best IntraLASIK procedure possible will make efforts to ensure you are well-informed and satisfied with your decision.
