10) Extended Service, Backed By Experience
Service from your doctor shouldn’t end with the procedure. Your after care should include multiple follow-up visits between one day and two years after your refractive surgery. Vance Thompson Vision is committed to ensuring individual care for each patient, along with the highest level of experience available.
Ideally your surgeon should be experienced in all aspects of refractive surgery options including laser, Intacs and Implants. This level of experience ensures a quality decision will be made in the best interest of your eyes.
If your surgeon only performs one type of refractive surgery, you may be inclined to have that surgery when it may not be the best option for you. It is important to fully understand all of your options for vision correction so you can make a decision that maximizes your sight and happiness.
The LASIK procedure is the right answer for most patients who are considering refractive surgery to improve their vision. However, in patients with higher degrees of nearsightedness or farsightedness, the cornea may be too thin to allow full refractive correction.
In these cases, surgical implants may be the best alternative. These special devices are placed in the eyes to improve their focusing ability.
