LASIK Eye Surgery - Frequently Asked Questions (F.A.Q.)

Can you do both eyes in one sitting?
There is no solid asnwer for this question. Whether you can do one or both eyes is dependent on the eye surgoen.

Why do some eye surgeons do only one eye?
Some surgeons like to see the results from doing the surgery on one eye before performing on the second. This allows them to make any adjustments if necessary.

Which is better - one or two eyes in a sitting?
Neither is better or worse. It usually comes down to time and surgeon preference. You may want to find an eye surgeon that can do both eyes in one sitting as it may be more difficult to get time off from work or have the extra time to come a second time. Some people want to see the full results after the first sitting, in which case getting both eyes in one sitting is better.
