How to find a LASIK Dallas Surgeon in the Dallas area.
Finding the Right LASIK Doctor
If you are considering refractive surgery, make sure you:
- Compare. The levels of risk and benefit vary slightly not only from LASIK Dallas procedure to LASIK Dallas procedure, but from LASIK Dallas device to LASIK Dallas device depending on the manufacturer, and from LASIK Dallas surgeon to LASIK Dallas surgeon depending on their level of experience with a particular procedure.

- Don't base your decision simply on cost and don't settle for the first LASIK eye center, LASIK doctor, or LASIK procedure you investigate. Remember that the decisions you make about your eyes and LASIK surgery will affect you for the rest of your life. (LASIK Dallas Help)
- Be wary of LASIK eye centers that advertise, "20/20 vision or your money back" or "package deals." There are never any guarantees in medicine. (Dallas LASIK Help)
- Read. It is important for you to read the patient handbook provided to yourDallas LASIK doctor by the manufacturer of the device used to perform the refractive procedure. Your Dallas LASIK doctor should provide you with this handbook and be willing to discuss his/her outcomes (successes as well as complications) compared to the results of studies outlined in the handbook.

Under the care of an experienced Dallas LASIK surgeon, carefully screened candidates with reasonable expectations and a clear understanding of the risks and alternatives are likely to be happy with the results of their LASIK refractive procedure.

The LASIK operation takes about 30 minutes and is carried out as a day surgery case, which means that you will go home on the same day of the operation.
The operation takes place in a room that has the LASIK Laser system. You will be on a special chair that is similar to a dentist's chair. You will be lying on your back and your eye will be numbed with some anaesthetic eye drops. A special device is used to keep the eyelids open. A microscopic knife will be used to cut a small flap in the centre of the cornea. The cut is not complete; a small bridge of tissue is left to keep it in contact with the rest of the cornea. The flap is then lifted and folded back. Via this opening the laser light can get through to the inner aspect of the cornea. The laser system will then be positioned close to your eye and the laser light will be directed towards the inner aspect of your cornea. The laser light vaporises the tissue of the inner aspect of the cornea and reshapes the cornea in such a way that after the operation it will focus the light on the retina allowing you to clearly see objects that are away from you. The amount of laser light/energy that will enter your eye and the way it will reshape the cornea is controlled by a computer which is very accurate. After the laser treatment the flap of the cornea is put back in place but it is not stitched. A pad/shield will be placed over the eye at the end of the procedure to protect it.
