LASIK eye surgeons are specially trained ophthalmologists. During LASIK surgery, a microkeratome (special instrument or tool) is used to make a flap in the cornea. A laser then removes a wedge from the cornea to reshape it and correct the refractive error that is present. Before choosing one LASIK surgeon over another, it is imperative you compare different variables such as the reputation of the surgeon, the promises that are made to you (good surgeons never guarantee outcome), and costs/vision insurance coverage of the procedure. We have compiled a large list of qualified LASIK eye surgeons across the United States. Please feel free to contact one or more surgeons listed below in the city nearest you.
