Experience: Find out about the surgeon's experience. Look into the surgeon's work history and find out how many patients he has treated successfully.
Equipment and Procedure: There are different types of procedures as well as equipment used for LASIK. It will be a good idea to find out if the surgeon you have chosen is up to date with all the latest technologies and procedures.
Price: Most eye surgery clinics will be competitive on price. You need to find a surgeon whom you can afford. A good way to find an eye surgeon is to shortlist a few surgeons based on your research and then book a consultation with each. Since it is important to have a good rapport with your surgeon, your final decision should lie with a surgeon whom you are comfortable with and who will offer you the best care in terms of pre- and post-surgery.
