Step 1
Determine if you are a candidate for laser eye surgery. Your regular eye doctor should be able to tell you if your eyes fall within the current guidelines for candidates. If your doctor cannot tell you this, you will need to find a laser eye surgeon who can.
-
Step 2
Create a list of potential doctors. In addition to locating a doctor on your own or through friends' recommendations, you can also ask your regular eye doctor for a referral.
-
Step 3
Consult with doctors once you have narrowed down the list. Many doctors will offer a free consultation. You should evaluate the doctor and the environment before deciding which doctor is the best doctor to use. Come prepared with a list of questions you have.
-
Step 4
Schedule a surgery. While laser eye surgery is generally a quick procedure, the recovery is going to take some time. Factor the recovery time into your schedule for the surgery. You will also need to have someone drive you to and from the appointment.
-
Step 5
Determine payment. The price for surgery will depend on how many eyes will be repaired and the exact type of laser eye surgery. Though payment is generally due at the time of service, many doctors and facilities will offer a payment plan or provide credit if needed.
-
Step 6
Receive surgery. The laser surgery is fast and typically easy. The hardest part for most people is to be awake in order to get the laser eye surgery. Relax and let the doctor do his job.
