Please click on the link in the next paragraph for help in deciding what to look for in Lasik Eye surgeons. After you have chosen your Lasik eye surgeon, you will be scheduled for an initial consultation. Your Lasik eye surgeon may ask you to stop wearing any contact lenses and return to wearing glasses for 2 to 4 weeks before your consultation. Why?

All contact lenses, but especially hard lenses, can change the shape of your cornea temporarily. During your baseline exam, your surgeon will thoroughly examine both of your eyes, taking precise, detailed measurements. These measurement help determine how much corneal tissue will need to be reshaped to give you the best possible outcome after surgery. Wearing contact lenses up to the day of your baseline exam may cause inaccurate measurements to be taken and this can result in inaccurate changes made to your vision. There's no way you want this to happen, so listen to your surgeon's recommendations if he or she asks you to stop wearing your contacts prior to your exam.

For many people who are fed up with wearing contact lenses or glasses on a daily basis, LASIK eye surgery can be a very attractive alternative. LASIK eye Surgery is a procedure that uses an excimer laser to reshape your cornea to eliminate irregularities and help improve retinal focusing.

Laser eye Surgery has a very good success rate. The vast majority of LASIK patients have been very happy with the results. However, as with all surgery, the benefits come with their share of risks. Depending on your situation, these risks may or may not be worth the reward for you. It is important to discuss these risks with an experienced laser lasik eye surgery to determine if you are an ideal candidate for LASIK surgery.

The Ideal LASIK Candidate

LASIK is ideally suited to improve moderate refractive errors such as:

· Nearsightedness

· Farsightedness

· Astigmatism

If your refractive errors are very severe (if you have a strong prescription), the surgery may not be as effective. You might want to discuss alternative refractive surgery procedures with your LASIK surgeon if you have a very strong prescription.

1. Lasik eye surgery isn’t for everyone

Before undergoing any Lasik eye surgery procedure, you should have a thorough eye exam. Any good LASIK eye surgeon will do this to determine whether you’re a good candidate, although some facilities which emphasize profits over quality will do it perfunctorily or even not at all.

Good outcomes are important to a good LASIK eye surgeon. So it’s in his/her interests as well as yours to test your vision and overall eye conditions carefully before going ahead with any Lasik eye surgery procedure. If your cornea is too thin, your pupil diameter too large, or the cause of your vision problem is not any refractory error, then you need a solution other than Lasik eye surgery .

If Lasik eye surgery is not for you, your physician can recommend some alternatives.

There are some general qualifications in order to be considered for Lasik eye surgery :
