Consumer Reports Offers Tips on How to Find the Best LASIK Surgeon

LASIK surgery can be a confusing and life-altering procedure. Many people who have been suffering from imperfect vision ultimately come to the conclusion to undergo LASIK surgery. Often, however, these people are still left with unanswered questions. When one is considering undergoing any surgical procedure, it is important to have a trustworthy, professional medical expert to consult regarding your concerns and to thoroughly prepare you for what to expect. Regarding this, Consumer Reports released an article highlighting “How to Choose a Good LASIK Surgeon” with important things to consider when seeking LASIK surgery. At the Beverly Hills Medical Center Kuwait, our highly-skilled ophthalmologists are on staff to deliver the most comprehensive LASIK treatment package, ensuring your comfort and satisfaction throughout the entire procedure.

#1 Find out your surgeon’s history – Do your research and ask questions! Find a doctor with expert credentials and experience using the type of equipment required to perform your procedure. Dr. Ghassan Zein, Medical Director of the Beverly Hills Medical Center Kuwait is a Harvard Medical School Fellow and would be happy to discuss the many procedures he’s performed using the state-of-the-art Femto-LASIK machine.

#2 Make sure the doctor performs a thorough pre-examination – To make sure your doctor is giving you a complete and personalized evaluation, make sure to check if he assesses your pupil size in and out of light, quantity and quality of tears, and surface, thickness, and shape of your corneas.

#3 See what the surgeon’s rejection rate is – Not everyone is qualified to receive Femto-LASIK eye surgery, and a professional would not perform the surgery on just anyone who walks through the door. Dr. Zein knows a thorough pre-examination is key in determining a patient’s ophthalmologic diagnosis.

#4 Ask about your post-surgical possibilities – Ophthalmologic experts should be able to discuss the possibilities of success or side-effects given your pre-surgery examination results. Dr. Zein will discuss the benefits of undergoing LASIK surgery with you and offer his best prognosis for your vision.

#5 Ask your surgeon to be realistic with assessing your outcome results – A professional ophthalmologist like Dr. Zein would never promise results they could not achieve. Based upon examination and the medical history you provide to your doctor, you should be given a comprehensive prognosis before undergoing any procedure. Ophthalmologists are cautious, but the results are encouraging: most patients have 20/20 vision the day following Femto-LASIK surgery.

#6 Ask your surgeon about the type of equipment he will be using in your LASIK procedure – You want to assess the risks and benefits of using this procedure versus others available. Dr. Zein is always happy to discuss the immense benefits of undergoing the bladeless Femto-LASIK procedure offered at the Beverly Hills Medical Center Kuwait.
