Thinking about Laser Eye Surgery? Why you need a second opinion

Living without glasses or contacts. For many high myopes, it sounds like a dream. Laser eye surgery (LASIK, SMILE, PRK) has become very popular and accessible.

However, it remains a surgery on healthy eyes. And if you walk into a laser clinic, their primary goal is often to sell you that surgery.

At Zeker Zicht, we offer something different: Independent Advice.

Am I a good candidate?

Not everyone is suitable for laser surgery. If your corneas are too thin, or if you suffer from severe Dry Eye Disease, surgery could lead to permanent complications.

Clinics might sometimes push the boundaries. As independent optometrists, we don't perform the surgery, so we have no financial incentive to say "yes." We only care about the long-term health of your eyes.

The Pre-Scan Consult

Before you visit a commercial clinic, you can book a consultation with us. We check:

  • Stability: Has your prescription been stable for at least 2 years?
  • Corneal Health: Is the surface irregular? (Keratoconus screening).
  • Dry Eyes: Surgery cuts corneal nerves, causing temporary dryness. If you already have dry eyes, this must be treated before surgery.

Safe decisions start here

Get an honest, unbiased medical opinion before you sign up for surgery. We help you make the choice that is right for your eyes.
