Lasik Surgery: affordable eye surgery, is a type of refractive surgery for correcting myopia, hyperopia, and astigmatism performed by opthamologists using a laser.

When looking for affordable eye surgery consider these things when you check qualifications and abilities of a lasik surgeon :

• Licensing. State licensing boards can validate a surgeon's credentials. You also can check a surgeon's credentials through the National Practitioner Data Bank.
• Board certification. Ask if your surgeon is board certified beyond having a basic license to practice medicine. This means that an entity recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties has certified the surgeon to practice in his or her specialty. The American Board of Ophthalmology is one such entity that requires board-certified physicians to complete specific training and continuing education related to the specialty.
• American College of Surgeons (ACS) membership. The ACS upholds ethical standards of conduct for all members, who must be board certified.
