BC LASIK

Once you’ve decided that you are ready to see clearly without glasses or contacts, where do you go?

For someone who is not in the field of laser vision correction, the process of selecting a LASIK provider can be more than a little confusing. The following steps will help you better understand your options when making your choice regarding LASIK surgery.

Surgeon’s Experience

Number of Procedures Performed

First, the amount of experience a surgeon has is one of the most critical factors in determining the quality of care you will receive and obtaining a favorable outcome.

Increased surgical experience has been proven to correlate with safer surgery and better outcomes. Good surgical judgment and experience are usually related and a careful conservative approach is safest.

How can you determine a surgeon’s experience? The most crucial factor is how many times the surgeon has performed the same procedure. There is a big difference between performing LASIK surgery and other types of eye surgery. Eye operations such as cataract surgery and retinal surgery are entirely distinct from refractive surgery and often use different instruments, techniques and staff.

The surgeons at BC LASIK specialize in laser vision correction. It’s what we do, day in and day out.

The practice’s lead surgeon, Dr. Joseph King is one of the most experienced LASIK surgeons, who has helped 300,000 patients receive clear vision without glasses or contacts.  Dr. King has treated many doctors, including ophthalmologists, athletes, pilots, professional photographers, and other individuals.

“… His expertise and education are unparalleled.”
