Laser vision correction surgery will save you plenty of money over your lifetime as well since you will no longer have to order new glasses and/or contact lenses.

For many people, clear vision without the help of glasses or contacts seemed impossible, until advancements in LASIK made it more accessible and safer than ever before. Just think about what life will be like without the hassle of worrying where you put your glasses, or the daily routine of cleaning and putting in your contacts. If you’re an active person, you’ll no longer have to worry about your eyes when you’re running on the beach, swimming in the ocean, or just simply enjoying an active lifestyle in beautiful Southern California.

According to the latest research by the American Refractive Surgery Council, LASIK eye surgery results in 99 percent of patients achieving better than 20/40 vision and over 90 percent attain 20/20 vision or better. Additionally, over 95 percent of patients report that they were satisfied with the results from having LASIK surgery. This is the highest satisfaction rate of any elective medical procedure.
Questions to ask before having LASIK surgery
If you are considering having a LASIK procedure, here are a few important questions to ask your doctor prior to scheduling your vision correction procedure.
- How many LASIK surgeries have you performed?
Patients may feel more at ease knowing that their surgeon has performed LASIK hundreds, or in our case, thousands of times.
- Should I avoid certain medication before the procedure?
As you will be sedated for your LASIK procedure, it’s a good idea to ask your surgeon if any of the medications you are on could potentially interfere with the effectiveness of the sedative used during the procedure.
- Where will the procedure be done?
Since LASIK machines are rather large and heavy, LASIK procedures are generally done where the machines are located. Be sure to ask about the location of the procedure as it might be a different location from your surgeon’s office. Since we have locations for LASIK surgery in Los Angeles and Orange County, you want to be sure that you are coming to the right place for your procedure.
- What kind of results should I expect?
Your LASIK surgeon should set your expectations about the results of your procedure. As you may know, LASIK surgery is used to treat a wide variety of refractive issues, but the severity of your vision problem may impact the results of the procedure. If you have a more severe refractive problem, your surgeon may need to repeat the procedure years later to ensure optimal results.
