If you'd like to improve your vision and reduce or eliminate your need for glasses or contacts, perhaps you're considering LASIK. This procedure has become one of the most popular vision correction surgeries in the nation with 9 million Americans undergoing LASIK procedures 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 ophthalmologists, who together have performed more than 65,000 LASIK procedures, help you understand what the surgery involves. Among the questions they answer: - Are you a candidate for LASIK surgery?- How is LASIK performed?- How much vision improvement you can expect?- How does the new Wavefront technology improve LASIK?- How do you choose a qualified ophthalmologist?- How many procedures should your ophthalmologist have performed?- What are the possible complications?- What follow up care will you need after the surgery? The Book to Read Before Having LASIK Surgery!
