As a patient, it is your responsibility to do some personal research before undergoing surgery. It is a good idea to learn as much as you can about your desired procedure, and ask our surgeons as many questions as you can think of.

Before committing to eye surgery, it is important that you understand the eye and its functions. At Horizon Eye, we offer the following services:

•     Contact lenses

•     Cosmetic procedures

•     Eye diseases and treatment

•     Eyewear/optical services

•     LASIK

•     ReSTOR, ReZoom, and Crystalens IOLs

•     WaveScan
  

Whatever procedure you are interested in, you should familiarize yourself with our 3D Eye Library. This will give you some background and information on the anatomy of your eye.

Another good resource is the American Academy of Ophthalmology. This Web site provides tips on how to protect your eyesight and how to recognize a specific eye problem, and gives information on different diseases and treatment options. There are also interactive tools like eye disease simulators and risk assessment tests to help you learn all there is to learn about your condition.

Another resource that you may find helpful in researching general medical questions is Primed Patient Education Center.  Many times a patient with eye disease will also have another medical condition.

Knowledge is power. The more you know, the more prepared you will be going in to surgery. And if you know exactly what to expect, it will give you a peace of mind and allow you to achieve the best possible results.
