However, something that is perhaps discussed less often is the common fear that a doctor may find a problem that is bigger than what the appointment was initially booked for. This fear is, for many people, a reason to avoid regular visits to the GP, dentist, or optometrist….

What’s More Important – The Surgeon or the Technology Used for My Laser Eye Surgery?

Obviously good equipment will allow you to do bit more intensive preparing or generating profiles for the patient that are perhaps a little bit more refined compared to older equipment for example and secondly you need a good surgeon to know how to manipulate that equipment to get the most out of it.
