Decisions to make

LASIK in Thailand – Decision Time

One eye at a time or both in one go?

Common sense suggests that you have one eye done first and, if everything went well, you have the operation on the second eye. This ensures that you can’t lose both eyes at the same time. According to the information provided by the clinics, the most critical part of the whole procedure is the opening of the corneal flap. Everything else has a much lower risk. So, if you decide to have both eyes operated on the same day, the LASIK surgeon will examine the corneal flap of your first eye and only if everything went well there, will continue with the second eye. In other words, if there appears to be a problem with the first eye, the second eye will not be operated on. Most people we have talked to, had both eyes done the same day.
