LASIK—laser vision correction surgery—has quickly become one of the most popular vision correction surgeries in the nation. More than 1.3 million procedures are being performed annually. But, before you entrust your eyes to a surgeon, make sure you become an informed consumer. In LASIK—A Guide to Laser Vision Correction, three respected ophthalmologists help you understand the benefits and risks of the surgery. Questions answered include: Who is a candidate for LASIK surgery? How is LASIK performed? How much vision improvement you can expect? How can you choose a qualified physician? What are the risk factors and possible complications? What follow up care will you need after the surgery
