Refractive
surgeons will ultimately make their reputations by the people
they don't operate on. Individuals looking for perfect vision
may become dissatisfied patients.
Marketing,
paid testimonials, and co-management fee arrangements cannot
replace an eye physician and surgeon's thorough history and
complete physical examination. LASIK candidates must understand
presbyopia and monovision, and be carefully screened for dry
eye, irregular astigmatism, retinal holes, and macular degeneration.
Lasik
is a mission-critical software application, and beta-testers
with large pupils have experienced glare, ghosting, starbursts,
and haloes. LASIK surgeons must understand the different excimer
platforms, and exclude some refractive surgery candidates.
LASIK
is surgery, and must not be trivialized. It is impossible
to guarantee results.
Choose
your LASIK surgeon carefully!
