Are there risks involved in having LASIK surgery?
Any surgery involves risks, however LASIK is the most common elective surgery in the country and very safe. When you come in for your consultation, we will review the risks involved. Q: What if my eyes change after surgery? A: You would need to make an appointment with me to determine the best option. This could include a LASIK touch-up enhancement, corrective contacts or glasses, or other possible surgical and non-surgical solutions. Q: Can I wear contact lenses after having LASIK surgery? A: Yes, but it is unlikely that you will need to wear contacts. The lasers we use were selected for their ability to deliver vision beyond what you can achieve with glasses or contacts. Occasionally corrections are needed for certain part-time activities, in these cases glasses are usually chosen. Q: How much experience do you have? A: I’ve specialized in refractive eye surgery since 1994; I was an assistant clinical professor of ophthalmology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center for eight years
