How do you go about picking a doctor for laser eye surgery?

Posted by adventy97 (aka ty97) Dec 14 '09, 07:05

I have the money going into my health spending account for 2010, so I'm certainly doing it. I have no idea how to pick a doctor though

It's not a laser. It's a little light bulb that blinks -- nm - Woody Dec 14, 08:14
Stick with places that LASIK is not their specialty or all they do. Go to eye doctors/cornea specialists that also to laser eye surgery - Banzai! Dec 14, 07:16
you avoid the doctor on 30 Rock. -- nm - Diva Dec 14, 07:13 2
- can I tell you how much I adore that show? I thank American Airlines for helping me discover it. - adventy97 Dec 14, 07:14 1

You go to the same guy I went to. - pmb Dec 14, 07:09 14

- Is Kraft the name of the doctor, or the name of the center? -- nm - adventy97 Dec 14, 07:15 9
  - It's Kraff and he's the doctor and the Kraff Eye Institute (I think) is the name of the center. -- nm - pmb Dec 14, 07:32 5

    - I have no clue what that means - adventy97 Dec 14, 07:20 1
      - the dude needs *one* eyeglass - oblique Dec 14, 07:21
- I can't remember who I used. I remember it was near Barrington through Alexian Brothers I think. I hear commercials for Kraff all the time -- nm - oblique Dec 14, 07:12
- this is the guy I'm going to interview. one of the docs I work with went to him and I've heard lots of recommendations - dogbert Dec 14, 07:11 1
  - He is more expensive than some others I've heard of, but that's my feeling too. -- nm - pmb Dec 14, 07:12
Ask people you know/work with who they used. Pick the people that are not blind -- nm - oblique Dec 14, 07:09
Stay away from any that have a link to schools for the blind on their web site. -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Dec 14, 07:09
Avoid those Dollar Lasiks stores. -- nm - HdnAgnda Dec 14, 07:09
I have no idea, but if they tell you your corneas are too thin, don't just go have it done by the unscrupulous eye surgeon who will do anything. - mafic Dec 14, 07:09 1
- Earlier this year, the eye doctor in Florida told me I was an 'ideal candidate' so I'm not too worried about that. -- nm - adventy97 Dec 14, 07:13

- I was gonna ask "handy with a butter knife, eh?" until I saw the IM. Now I'm left with this whiny failed joke version instead. :( -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 07:08
considering that the owner of victoria's Lasik branch took out a *hit* on the co-owner ... I have no idea. -- nm - Beryllium Dec 14, 07:06 1
