How can my Optometrist help me if I want LASIK surgery?

Your optometrist is the first person you should talk to if you are interested in LASIK. There are many things to consider before having the surgery and to make sure that you are an ideal candidate for the surgery. Optometrist often collaborate and co-manage patients with the ophthalmologist, who will perform the surgery. In cases of LASIK management, we do the pre-op evaluations to get you ready before surgery and then do the post-op evaluations to make sure you are doing well afterwards. Optometrist can be helpful in this process because we know your ocular history for many years and can often make informed recommendations based on your lifestyle and goals.

My first eye exam in fifteen years. I am so thankful that I found Insight Vision Center. Dr. Lam and staff made me feel like a welcome guest. My eye exam revealed very minor blurriness and Dr. Lam did not pressure me into purchasing eyewear for a condition not necessitating glasses… yet. Maybe next year? I am getting older. They took my VSP insurance. Yay!

Dr. Lam and staff are amazing. Every phone call or interaction is friendly. You can feel the smiles and joy over whatever mode of communication you are interacting with them. Dr. Lam is very knowledgeable and helps you to better understand everything that is going on with your eyes. She made me aware of potential problems I may have with my eyes and walked me through every step of the process. She helped me understand the various factors that could be causing my vision to be a little impaired and followed up with me as I had to see an ophthalmologist. Great team, great office.
