The different grades of eye specialists can make it slightly confusing to understand which one of them is certified to carry out LASIK surgery. Generally, you can consult each one of them regarding your vision problems. However, out of these professionals, only an ophthalmologist is certified to perform LASIK surgery.
Here is what you should know about the different types of eye care providers-
There is no doubt that the surgeon who is carrying out the procedure makes a big difference in ensuring its success. Therefore, it is crucial that you invest ample time and effort to make the best decision.
Fill details to get actual cost
Typically, while seeking treatment, the cost is the major consideration for people. However, this certainly should not be the driving factor when you are choosing a LASIK surgeon. The key is to find an eye care professional who makes you feel comfortable and who you can trust completely. As it is a matter of your eyes, don’t choose convenience over quality of care, as you might end up compromising the treatment results.
Follow the steps below to choose the best LASIK surgeon-
LASIK surgery is becoming very common amongst the young generation in India. More and more people are opting for this surgery to get a clear vision. Thus, it is easier to come across people who have had the surgery themselves.
So, start by asking friends or family for referrals. They can refer you to their own doctors and provide you with an insight into what you can expect from the treatment. If you don’t have such a friend or family member, ask your primary care provider, general physician, or optician for a reference. They are more likely to know the best doctor to consult for LASIK surgery. Furthermore, their reference will be more reliable as they don’t have anything to gain from the reference. They’ll be doing so solely for your benefit.
Researching the doctor’s credentials is the next step. Before you book a consultation with an ophthalmologist, don’t forget to check his/her credentials, including training, license of practice, certifications, etc. Validating these credentials is essential to ensure that you have chosen a reliable doctor for LASIK surgery.
Also, try to confirm that the surgeon doesn’t have any malpractice suit or disciplinary action against him/her. Such issues reflect badly on the surgeon’s credibility and specify how passionate the doctor is about his/her practice.
To get the best results, choose a surgeon with ample experience and training. Adequate experience and expertise in performing LASIK eye surgery mean that the surgeon is highly skilled in the procedure. Moreover, it signifies that the surgeon is knowledgeable enough to mitigate the potential risks and complications associated with the procedure.
Many doctors choose to get additional training in various types of LASIK surgeries to provide optimal care to patients.
Ask the surgeon about the number of surgeries he/she has performed in the last week, month, or year. Make sure that the numbers are not exceedingly high or low. If the number is too high, there are chances that the patients are not getting optimal care under the doctor. And if the numbers are too low, there are chances that the surgeon is not properly staffed to tend to the patients.
Eye Specialists at Pristyn Care specialize in laser eye surgeries such as Lasik, SMILE Lasik, Femto LASIK, Contoura Vision and PRK Lasik.
Another thing that you should consider while choosing a LASIK surgeon is communication skills. An ophthalmologist must communicate well with you regarding the treatment options. The surgeon should also explain the procedure, its benefits, and risks to the patient in detail to help them make an informed decision.
You should not feel rushed by the doctor, even during the consultation. A professional doctor ensures that the patient understands everything before proceeding with surgical treatments like LASIK eye surgery.
Not all LASIK surgeons provide all types of vision correction treatment. Some surgeons invest in modern technologies to ensure that the patients coming to them have the latest options in terms of vision correction. So, while you are choosing the surgeon, ensure that the hospital or clinic he/she is accredited with has the latest technology available, including Contoura Vision, SMILE, etc., along with conventional techniques, such as SBK, PRK, etc.
Besides having the latest technology, also check if the doctor has enough medical and non-medical staff to tend to the patients. Being a patient, your interactions with the LASIK surgeon will be limited, and interactions with the surgeon’s staff will be maximum. Do not ignore this aspect, as it will determine your overall experience during the treatment journey.
Reviews and testimonials from previous patients about the doctor and the hospital/clinic he/she is accredited with are very important. Check the doctor’s profile online, the hospital’s website and other platforms to find genuine reviews given by the patients and go through them carefully.
These reviews will help you to analyze the quality of care the patients are receiving under the doctor and his/her team.
Asking as many questions as possible to clear your doubts and concerns to make the decision. These questions include-
Having a consultation with at least two or three certified LASIK surgeons is important to make the right decision. It will give you the opportunity to learn as much as possible about the procedure and what you should expect from the surgeon.
So, while making the decision, evaluate the following things-
No matter how many ophthalmologists you consult, you should be confident in the surgeon before proceeding with the treatment.
If you want to save time and effort, you can get in touch with Pristyn Care and book a free consultation with the best LASIK surgeons in India. Our doctors are trustworthy and reliable and provide the best-quality care under all circumstances.
