October 27, 2006, Newsletter Issue #37: LASIK Safety and LASIK Surgeons

Tip of the Week

You wouldn't approve of used needles in a hospital, or dirty medical equipment during an appendectomy, so why would you accept anything less for an eye procedure?



When you're choosing a LASIK doctor, remember that microkeratome versus femtosecond doesn't matter as much as the way your LASIK doctor uses that high-tech laser. Two important tips will help you evaluate medical practitioners when you're choosing a LASIK surgeon:



1) The laser should be recalibrated at least every fourth use for maximum accuracy.

2) A new microkeratome incisor should be used for each patient.



Ask your LASIK surgeon about laser maintenance--it doesn't matter how good the tools are if the workman doesn't take care of them properly.
