Training and Experience When it comes to laser vision correction, experience counts. It is important to know where your eye surgeon became skilled at performing the LASIK procedure. Just
attending a lecture or seminar does not qualify your physician as having adequate professional training. It is equally important to select an experienced eye surgeon with a reputation for quality care and
excellent outcomes. Surgical Equipment A
competent surgeon will have state-of-the-art instrumentation needed to perform pre-operative screening for patient eligibility. If it is determined that you are a good candidate for LASIK, details of the
recommended procedure should be thoroughly discussed with you. While very few surgeons have their own laser equipment due to its enormous cost, your surgeon must have access to an excimer laser, microkeratome,
and/or diamond-bladed surgical knife, depending upon the procedure recommended. Affordable and Convenient In selecting a laser vision correction specialist, capability and experience are vitally important. Laser vision correction is considered elective surgery;
therefore, it is not normally covered by individual or group health insurance policies. We are happy to offer payment plans for as little as $93 per month to those who are interested. Reputation As with other professions, reputation is probably the
most significant factor in judging an eye surgeon and an ophthalmology practice. Dr. Frantz's personal dedication, extensive surgical experience and outstanding educational and research background are complemented
by his highly trained support staff at Florida Eye Health. We welcome your inquiries of our peers, patients, the professional organizations to which we belong or any other viable sources of knowledge of our
practice. We want you to feel completely comfortable with our practice and our staff.
