Question

Roberta is considering laser surgery for her eyes. she has worn corrective lenses for years, with contact lenses for the past 7 years. what kinds of questions should she ask her doctor?

Answer 1

There are a lot of possible questions that she may ask her doctor about laser eye surgery. She can/should ask about the cost and duration of the treatment, the difference between laser surgery and her current corrective lenses or contacts, risk factors and if she is at the right optimal and life-stage age for a laser eye surgery.

Answer 2

She needs to ask if her cornea is uniform and ask the ophthalmologist if she would be a proper candidate in case she has dry eyes or issues driving at night. Also, age is something to consider, because sometimes people still need glasses later on. Laser eye surgery can increase dry eyes, create halos, and can create blurry vision for up to six months.
