between you and your doctor.

experts surgeon listed in our sponsored directory.
Others May Say They Are the Best LASIK Doctors, But Our LASIK
Directory Only Lists Surgeons You Can Trust With Confidence.
10 Reasons Why the Surgeons at Trusted LASIK Surgeons Are Among
the Most Trusted You Can Find in the World.
1.
Trusted for FDA Studies. Most of the refractive surgeons
listed at the Trusted LASIK Surgeons web site are trusted by the
manufacturers of lasers and other refractive medical devices to
participate as investigators in FDA Studies for new medical devices
(e.g., lens implants).We estimate that only 1 to 5% of LASIK surgeons
in the United States have participated in an FDA study.
2.
Trusted When Things Go Wrong. People who have significant
complications from a surgery (such as LASIK or cataracts) performed
by other doctors often select surgeons listed on our web site
to manage and treat these complications.
3.
Trusted by Eye Professionals To Perform Their Surgeries.
Eye doctors, optometrists, opticians, and other eye care professionals
as well as their families trust surgeons listed at the Trusted
LASIK Surgeons web site to perform their laser vision or refractive
surgery procedure.
4.
Trusted and Relied Upon by Their Peers for Research. Most
of the surgeons listed at our web site are involved in the most
current research on LASIK and other refractive surgeries. Consequently,
these surgeons are trusted by the major ophthalmology organizations
to give presentations to their peers and they are trusted by the
top ophthalmology journals which publish their articles and research.
5.
Trusted by Medical Schools for Academic Appointments. Many
of the surgeons listed in our directory are trusted by the ophthalmology
departments at medical schools at major universities in order
to assist in the training of enrolled residents and fellows.
6.
Experience. Nearly all of the surgeons listed at Trusted
LASIK Surgeons have at least 10 years of experience in all refractive
procedures, including LASIK, PRK and other refractive surgery
procedures (lens implants) and have performed at least 2000 refractive
vision correction procedures.
7.
Complete Refractive Surgeons Who Use the FDA-Approved Best
Lasers Available on the Market. Nearly all of the LASIK surgeons
listed in our directory offer complete refractive care. This means
these surgeons have been certified by the manufacturer to perform
all of the possible refractive surgery options, not just those
involving lasers (like LASIK and PRK) but also those surgeries
that take place inside the eye (such as lens implants). In fact,
many of the surgeons listed here train other refractive surgeons
in the use of medical devices used to perform LASIK and other
vision correction procedures. In addition, all of the surgeons
listed at the Trusted LASIK Surgeons web site utilize the IntraLase
or "bladeless" LASIK procedures and have been certified
by at least one laser manufacturer to perform “Custom”
(or wavefront-based) laser eye surgery. The combination of the
IntraLase and Wavefront-based procedures ("all laser"
LASIK) has been shown to increase the percentage of patients achieving
20/20 vision or better and to reduce the frequency of night vision
complaints.
8.
No Hidden Costs. When you visit a surgeon listed at Trusted
LASIK Surgeons, there are no substantial ad-ons tucked away as
hidden fees just to get you in the door. Many other LASIK surgeons
and practices advertise LASIK at discounted rates or make great
sounding guarantees. When it sounds to good to be true there is
usually a catch. For example, discount LASIK ads often only apply
to prospective patients who are slightly nearsighted (-1.00 Dioptors
or less) and who do not require correction for astigmatism. We
estimate that less than 2% of patients who come in for LASIK fit
the above requirements to for the discounted rate. In fact, the
people who meet the above requirements typically never seek LASIK
or another procedure because they are satisfied with their vision.
Another catch to many of the ads for discounted LASIK is that
they do not include “All Laser” LASIK (a.k.a. bladeless
LASIK) or wavefront-based LASIK or PRK, either of which will substantially
increase the cost of your vision correction procedure. We recommend
calling and finding out exactly what the costs are before scheduling
a consultation with any LASIK doctor.
9.
Board Certified. All of the surgeons listed at the Trusted
LASIK Surgeons web site have been certified by the American
Board of Ophthalmology, which is the oldest and most reputable
certifying board for medical doctors specializing in ophthalmology.
10.
Members of Nationwide Ophthalmology Organizations. All
of the doctors listed on our web site are members of American
Academy of Ophthalmology and nearly every surgeon is also
a member of at least one major refractive society.
All
of the surgeons listed at the Trusted LASIK Surgeons web site
must meet a minimum number of the unique qualifications developed

in our directory. These unique qualifications make up our Trusted
LASIK Qualifications.

Why
Should You Consider a Surgeon Listed at the Trusted LASIK Surgeons
Web site
1.
Confidence in Your Doctor.
- All
Doctors Are Pre-Screened to Ensure They Meet Our Unique Qualifications.
As discussed above, doctors listed on the Trusted LASIK web
site must meet most of the Trusted LASIK Qualifications to give
you the confidence that they are among the best refractive surgeons
in your local area. The number of Trusted LASIK Qualifications
that each surgeon must meet in order to be eligible for listing
in our LASIK directory varies depending on the population of
the city. In cities with populations over 500,000, refractive
surgeons must meet at least eight of the Trusted LASIK Surgeons
Qualifications. In cities with populations under 500,000, refractive
surgeons must meet at least seven of the Trusted LASIK Surgeons
Qualifications and they must submit a letter of recommendation
from another refractive specialist who meets at least nine of
the Trusted LASIK Surgeons Qualifications. For more information,
please see our discussion on How
Are Doctors Qualified at TLS?
- Typically
recommended by another Surgeon Listed at Trusted LASIK Surgeons.
In addition, nearly all of the LASIK surgeons listed in our
directory have been referred or recommended to us by at least
one other surgeon who is listed.
- Personalized
Physician Care. You will not be processed and farmed
out to the next available surgeon as can be done with some national
or regional LASIK centers that advertise on the radio just to
get as many people it can through its doors. Our web site only
lists individual refractive surgeons. The LASIK surgeons listed
here have represented that they will personally evaluate your
case and be available to perform the surgery (although each
doctor reserves the right to use their professional judgment
in determining whether to perform any given procedure or to
refer you to another eye refractive specialist for a second
opinion or treatment).
2.
A Web site Geared Toward You.
Our web site was built with a few simple goals in mind.

objective is to give you the mans to evaluate LASIK surgeons
in order to obtain the best vision care available though our
Trusted LASIK Surgeons directory. Our directory is geared toward
providing you with those LASIK and refractive surgeons who are
among, the most trusted LASIK and refractive surgeons in the
United States. Consequently, an eye doctor cannot simply buy
their way onto our web site. Unlike other web sites and services
that provide lists of doctors for medical care, we do not accept
any eye doctor just because that doctor is willing to pay the
fees to be listed and even larger fees to be placed higher at
the top of the list. At www.TrustedLasikSurgeons.com, each LASIK
surgeon listed is pre-screened using our Trusted LASIK Surgeons
Qualifications.
- To
List the Best and Most Trusted Surgeons. Many
of the eye surgeons listed at our web site are among the most
trusted because these doctors have consistently put the care
and treatment of their patients first. These surgeons typically
do not spend substantial amounts of time and money marketing
themselves on the tv, radio, or internet in order to attract
and treat as many prospective patients as they can. These surgeons
rely on word-of- mouth referrals from their patients. The Trusted
LASIK web site and directory was designed with the concept of
providing you with a directory of LASIK and vision correction
specialists who are among the best in your area.
- To
Provide You With Useful Information About LASIK and other Refractive
Surgery Procedures. Unlike other medical marketing
web sites and services, our web site is focused solely on LASIK
and other refractive surgery procedures. Within that framework,
we seek to provide comprehensive information at our web site.
Because LASIK and other refractive surgery procedures are what
our company was founded on, we will stick to what we know and
devote our efforts at the Trusted LASIK Surgeons web site toward
being the most trusted resource for your LASIK and refractive
surgery needs.
- To
Give You the Means to Evaluate and Compare LASIK Surgeons. Our
screening process is based on experience, patient care, and
professional credentials. While no one can make guarantees,
we believe this unique screening process will assist you in
evaluating and comparing eye surgeons you are considering for
you lasik or other refractive surgery procedure. We encourage
you to visit our LASIK Surgeon directory and consider the surgeons
