We all know those people who have multiple excuses for avoiding or simply not doing certain things. Whether it’s visiting the dentist, flying in an airplane, getting involved in a serious relationship, and so on. It all comes down to the elephant in the room — fear. It’s what no one wants to talk about and everyone wants to ignore. When it comes to LASIK surgery, this elephant is enormous, relentless, and most likely wearing black-rimmed glasses.
Psychologists will tell us that admitting our fears and talking about them can help to alleviate them. So let’s have a tell-all session where we lay all our fears on the table and see if we can minimize them.
What will it take to control the elephant in the room-fear of LASIK?
Complete Information
We fear what we don’t understand. Complete information is the remedy for fear in this instance. Never accept an unanswered question from a doctor about LASIK. At OCC LASIK, we pride ourselves on thorough evaluations where every single question is answered. Our patients undergo a series of tests to be sure they are good candidates for the surgery. An essential element in the testing process is determining who is right for LASIK and who is not. Complications that can arise with laser vision correction often stem from a doctor performing surgery on a patient who was not really a good candidate. You can be assured that every precaution will be taken and we will be absolutely sure you are a great candidate before we would recommend surgery.
Once candidacy is determined, the entire LASIK surgery process is explained from beginning to end. You will know what to expect before, during and after LASIK, so there will be no surprises. All possible risks and complications will be reviewed in detail, and your OCC LASIK doctor will see you throughout your aftercare.
Superior Technology and Safety
Only the most advanced technology is found at OCC LASIK. Our doctors can correct myopia or nearsightedness, hyperopia or farsightedness, and astigmatism. Our all-laser LASIK technology platform ensures a safer treatment than the older procedures. Since no two eyes are alike, we will capture a blueprint of your eyes and a custom treatment will be performed for each individual eye. The all laser guided treatment will change the inner surface of your cornea to correct your vision precisely. Clear vision is the result. The entire procedure is painless and lasts only a few minutes.
This same technology has been approved by the FDA for fighter pilots and astronauts. Safe enough for them, surely safe for you.
Understanding and Empathy
It’s a big step to get LASIK and no one is immune to being nervous, so don’t sweat it. It is totally normal and the staff at OCC LASIK will walk you through your experience with care and empathy. From the moment you enter our clinic, the front desk staff, the technicians and doctors will provide a relaxing atmosphere to calm any nerves and help relieve your fear of LASIK.

The best remedy to fear is trust. At OCC LASIK you can trust that our surgeons are both knowledgeable and experienced as well as educated in all kinds of eye issues. Dr. Ali and Dr. Armogan have over fifty years of combined experience in Ophthalmology. They are committed to delivering an intimate and personal experience to all of their patients, and you can trust that they will provide superior results and care.
Strength in Numbers
You are not alone. You only have to speak with the countless patients who have walked through the doors of OCC LASIK with less than perfect vision, and walked out with crystal clear vision for a lifetime. Many of them probably had the same fears you have now. If you are ready to ditch those glasses and contacts for good, take the first step.
