Eye Doctor for You.
I recently wrote about USAEyes.org and now they are in a magazine article!
US News & World Report cover story quotes Glenn Hagele, founder and Executive Director of the Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance (http:/www.USAEyes.org) regarding the importance of surgeon selection if considering Lasik or similar laser eye surgery.
He says: “No amount of technology can make up for an inferior surgeon.”
This statement is so true, the competency of an eye surgeon should always be the first thing to look for when considering eye surgery.
Only USAEyes.org evaluates and certifies Lasik surgeons based on patient outcomes. The articles explains patient’s advocacy rights too. On its website (www.usaeyes.org), the council lists eye surgeons it certifies who meet its standards for postoperative visual acuity and patient satisfaction, among other things. In addition, the group’s list of “50 tough questions for your LASIK doctor” tells potential patients what to ask any doctor they’re considering for LASIK or other refractive eye surgery.
