San Francisco LASIK Surgery – Laser Eye Surgery SF




Information on San Francisco (SF) LASIK Surgeons

If you are thinking of undergoing a refractive surgery procedure such as LASIK in San Francisco, there are several procedures and many qualified surgeons from which to choose. Though most people are familiar with LASIK, few realize that other related laser eye surgery procedures such as Epi-LASIK, LASEK and PRK are also very effective.

In assessing which of these procedures is best suited to your particular case, a San Francisco laser eye surgery specialist will take several factors into account, including your degree of nearsightedness, farsightedness and/or astigmatism, the size of your pupils at maximum dilation and the thickness or your cornea (the outermost portion of the eye).

When selecting a San Francisco LASIK surgeon, make sure to compare more than one board-certified ophthalmologist with extensive experience performing laser eye surgery; these surgeons receive additional post-graduate training before performing LASIK and other refractive surgery procedures.
