Questions to ask your surgeon before LASIK

Questions to ask your surgeon before LASIK

Will_it_LastWith any decision in life, sometimes the hardest part is taking that first step that will help you make your decision. This can certainly be true for the decision to have LASIK surgery. Maybe you are ready to make the first move and call to learn more about LASIK eye surgery, but you are nervous, and you don’t know what questions to ask. Don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. Discover our top questions to ask about LASIK during your complimentary consultation.

Realistically, you should not really have to ask anything about LASIK eye surgery, because a reputable, experienced LASIK practice should provide this information to you during your very first phone conversation with them. Because that does not always happen at all LASIK practices, we have created a list of questions for you to ask when you call to learn more about LASIK eye surgery.

  • How long will my LASIK consultation be?
  • Is there any charge for my LASIK consultation?
  • Can I drive myself home after my consultation?
  • Do I need to arrive prior to my actual appointment time?
  • Is there any paperwork or online registration I need to do?

It’s Your Decision, Not Ours

At the Rochester Eye & Laser Center, we believe that having LASIK eye surgery is a very important and personal decision. The purpose of our LASIK consultations is not to pressure you into having LASIK surgery at our practice, but instead to educate you and answer all your questions about LASIK eye surgery.

We also believe you should be prepared for your consultation, which is why your very first phone call to us is so educational. We will cover all the basics listed above so that you don't have to ask. Then during your free LASIK consultation, you can focus on questions about your vision and your specific situation.
