PHOENIX - Are you thinking about ditching the glasses and going for LASIK eye surgery?
The folks at Angie’s List have a few things for you to keep in mind before making a decision.
Make sure you research the doctor. Talk to friends and family who have had the surgery and see you they recommend.
Your optometrist may also have some good suggestions for a qualified surgeon.
Find a doctor with experience in LASIK and see that they’re board certified.
Also, manage your expectations.
LASIK surgery comes with risks and there is no guarantee you’ll walk out with perfect vision.
Make sure your doctor isn’t promising results that he or she may not be able to deliver.
You should even take the time to price shop. Some doctors may be willing to negotiate prices.
