What Your Colorado Eye Doctor Should Know About Laser Surgery

In Colorado, eye doctor individuals are plentiful, but they don’t all have the same training. Your eyes are important – so your surgeon shouldn’t be getting his training by practicing on yours!

Whether you’re in Denver or Colorado Springs, you should look for an eye surgeon who has thousands of operations under his belt, and who has the necessary training to be expert at laser vision corrective surgery. When you fist contact an eye surgeon in Colorado, ask where they received their training and what sort of certification they have. A highly qualified eye surgeon will have certification from an accredited educational facility in laser eye surgery, and will be certified by at least one professional board.

Laser eye surgery using the modern ‘excimer’ type equipment has been around since 1996 – in the first few years that it was available, many surgeons became certified to use the new equipment, so you can be confident that they are many eye surgeons in Colorado who have been performing the procedure for as many as 10 years. Any surgeon who has complete a residency in ophthalmology or refractive surgery will have at least three years of experience doing laser eye surgery, and you should settle for nothing less than that. Many eye do0ctors have been certified in ophthalmology for a long time but only recently trained in laser surgery – so be specific when you ask your Colorado eye surgeon about his or her training to make sure that they not only have certification and training, but that they have been performing operations for at least three years.

Be wary of any Colorado eye doctor who promises you 100 percent better vision after laser surgery. A good Colorado eye doctor will tell you that Lasik won’t give you 20/20 vision, and that there’s a small chance you may need a follow-up surgery to ‘fine tune’ your vision once you’ve healed after the first procedure. There are also a range of symptoms that a small number of Lasik patients experience after surgery – if your Colorado eye surgeon fails to warn you of possible post-surgical symptoms when you discuss the procedure, this isn’t acceptable and you should look elsewhere in Colorado for another surgeon.
