Who can perform LASIK surgery? |
All ophthalmologists
can perform LASIK surgery.
Ophthalmologists who perform LASIK should be surgeons
who perform several procedures each week, as LASIK is
highly dependent on skill and experience. Fine attention
to detail is essential for good results.
An eye surgeon who is a specialist in cornea and external
eye disease has an advantage over the general ophthalmologist
since he is familiar with special techniques of corneal
surgery. Complex techniques of corneal surgery may be
necessary in difficult cases of LASIK surgery.
Eye surgeons who want to perform LASIK should be properly
trained. Courses for proper training in LASIK surgery
are available worldwide. Ask your surgeon if he has
attended these courses.
