Laser Vision Correction in Virginia, Maryland, and Washington DC
Considerations
The decision to undergo laser vision correction in Virginia, Maryland, or Washington, DC is one which you should consider carefully. When selecting a doctor or facility to care for your vision correction needs, it is important that you educate yourself on every aspect of the practice, including the experience of the surgeon, the technology featured in the office, and the measures in place to ensure your safety and overall comfort.
For your convenience, TLC Laser Eye Centers has compiled the following list of considerations to assist you in selecting a laser vision correction facility:

Technology
- Does the surgeon use the safer and more precise IntraLase® system to create the corneal flap?
- Does the surgeon use FDA-approved customized lasers, such as the VISX Star S4™ ActiveTrak™ Excimer Laser System and the WaveLight ALLEGRETTO WAVE ™ Excimer Laser System?
- Does the surgeon have access to more than one excimer laser system?
- Does the center use wavefront analysis to take measurements of the eye both pre-operatively and post-operatively?
- Does the center use the Orbscan® Diagnostic System?
- Does the laser suite have a Liebert system?
Safety
- Does the center measure the size of the patient’s pupils in order to ensure the appropriate treatment zone is used to avoid post-operative side effects?

- Does the surgeon use gloves, hats, and masks and sterilize all instruments for every patient?
Comfort
- Does the center take the time to explain complex issues and answer all of your questions?
