How to Gather Lasik Eye Surgery Info Before Going to the Doctor

There are a number of very good reasons to do your research properly and get as much lasik eye surgery info as you can before you see your doctor or surgeon.

While the idea of doing without eyeglasses or contact lenses is attractive, remember that:

• The process involves surgery, and surgery is never risk-free;
• The results are permanent;
• The possible side effects range from negligible to serious;
• The process is expensive.

Top of the list, at least because one can assume it is not driven primarily by commercial considerations, is the Food & Drug Administration site at http://www.fda.gov/cdrh/lasik/. The site introduction says its goal “is to provide objective information to the public about LASIK surgery”, and it succeeds admirably.

There’s lots of information on the pros and cons, on what will happen before, during and after surgery, advice on selecting a clinic, and numerous other matters.
