Questions for Your Refractive SurgeonRefractive surgery is a permanent process that could affect your sight for the rest of your life. It's a good idea to consult with more than one surgeon or clinic before making a final decision. Questions to ask your refractive surgeon include:-- How many surgeries of this type have you performed? -- What laser will be used for my surgery? Is it FDA-approved for this procedure? -- Who will be responsible for my preoperative and postoperative care? -- Will I need glasses after my treatment? -- What percentage of your patients achieve vision of 20/40 or better after surgery? -- What percentage of your patients have required followup enhancement surgery? -- What do you charge for enhancement surgery? -- What tests will you perform before the surgery? (The surgeon should test for corneal thickness and dry eye, at a minimum.) -- What certifications do you hold that apply to this surgery?
