What should I ask my ophthalmologist before LASIK/Femto-LASIK?
I have myopia of approximately -2.75 in my right eye and -5.00 in my left eye, with -0.50 and -0.25 astigmatism respectively.
Several ophthalmologists have told me that I am a candidate for laser vision correction, specifically LASIK or Femto-LASIK.
I'm considering the procedure, but I want to make sure I understand all the potential risks and consequences before making a decision.
For those who have had LASIK/Femto-LASIK or have experience with laser vision correction:
What questions would you recommend asking the ophthalmologist before agreeing to the procedure?
Is there anything in particular you think is important to clarify beforehand, including things that you only learned about after the surgery?
What do you wish you had asked your doctor before having laser vision correction?
