When it comes to getting excellent results in anything, accuracy is very important. Even when cutting a piece of wood, we are told to measure twice and cut once to be sure we have it right. If an error occurs, we might need to buy a new piece of wood. Obviously, in medical care, we need to be extremely careful and I have been impressed how careful doctors are trained to be, especially in surgery. Although to the casual observer, laser vision correction might seem rather simple, it does in fact require rigorous thought, careful measurements, and analysis to consistently get excellent results. Even with the best of intentions, we cannot always be as reproducible as cutting a piece of wood because what we are doing is far more complex. At our center, Dishler LASIK, we attempt to minimize any variability and this blog entry is to explain some of the steps we have taken to insure the greatest accuracy possible. I invite the comments of any prospective or treated patients.
