• It is very important for patients to sort through all of the information available on refractive surgery to choose the right surgeon for their procedure.

• A low price can be very enticing, but price alone does not ensure that you will receive optimum care. It is important to take several factors into consideration.

Here are several elements that should contribute to your decision:

Surgeon Contact
• Meeting your surgeon and having him/her examine your eyes prior to surgery is an important element of quality patient care. During your preoperative exam key measurements are taken to ensure the optimum outcome from your surgery. The surgeon performing your LASIK procedure is the best person to take these measurements.

Your first visit after surgery is the most important exam to determine potential complications. Once again, your surgeon is the best person to perform this exam.

Dr. Liang personally counsels every patient and examines his or her eyes before and after surgery. He personally determines the numbers entered into the Excimer laser to improve your vision. This does not happen at every LASIK clinic. Always ask to meet your surgeon prior to surgery of any kind.

Expertise
• Your refractive surgeon should have several years of experience treating nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism surgically. The more experienced surgeon may have taken a fellowship in this subspecialty. Ask to speak with patients who have had different forms of surgery.

Comprehensive Skills
• Your refractive surgeon should be skilled at all of the currently available techniques (LASIK, PRK, RK, AK, IOLs, and ICLs, CK, etc.) to treat vision problems. Be very wary of any surgeon or facility that only offers one technique. Many patients have the luxury of choice between several procedures, but a surgeon who only knows how to perform one procedure will not offer choices.

Data Analysis
• Look for a surgeon who analyzes his/her own results and data to make refinements in his/her techniques and nomagrams. This enables the surgeon to evaluate himself/herself in an objective and critical manner.
