Vision Correction Provider Checklist
The decision to have laser or surgical vision correction is an important one that you should make carefully, not quickly. Choose a practice that focuses on safety, diagnostic technology, post-operative follow-up. Obviously, the experience of the surgeon is extremely important as well. We hope you will choose Memorial Eye Institute as your provider, but if you're shopping around, use this checklist to compare.
