Living in a fast paced, up-to-the minute city like Los Angeles, it is important to always be in control of yourself and your life, and that means putting your best foot - and face - forward.

A hot new trend among the public these days is the surgical option for people who have been dealing with vision problems for years and have found a fast solution in a new procedure known as new Lasik eye surgery, also known as Lasik Los Angeles.

The 10 to 15 minute operation (per eye) is relatively painless and makes use of a laser to reshape the cornea of the eye and cure vision deficiencies such as myopia (nearsightedness), hyperopia (farsightedness) and astigmatism.

The rise of establishments like the Lasik institute and Lasik eye center in Los Angeles, as well as throughout the country, have fed the public's enthusiasm and Lasik eye surgery vouchers have even found their way to award ceremony goodie bags, becoming a Lasik Los Angeles.

Being a surgical procedure, however, there is much to consider and discuss with your qualified lasik doctor and surgeon before deciding to throw out your glasses and contact lens solutions.

One factor to consider is cost of lasik eye surgery, which has been on the rise in recent years and which can vary from clinic to clinic, depending on your needs.

In the later half of 2005, the average cost had risen to just under $2,000 and can sometimes go up to $3,000 given the cost of new technological instruments.

Topics you should bring up with your surgeon ahead of time include asking what is and what is not included in the fee, possible additional costs if complications occur, the price of medications, and the number of follow-up visits to be made.

Another consideration is the possible complications that may arise after surgery. There are several possible risks involved and the operation itself is not reversible.

While most patients report perfectly restored vision, others are forced to deal with reduced or blurred vision, sensitivity to light, glare and other possible side effects of having new lasik vision.

To determine if you are a qualified candidate for Lasik eye surgery, there are several factors such as your age, needs and overall health that need to be determined by your lasik doctor and surgeon beforehand.

Whether you want clearer Lasik vision to pursue your dream career, get involved in sports or just make life simpler, Lasik Los Angeles might be your chance to say goodbye forever to a life of glasses or contact lenses, and get a new start at an easier, more carefree life.
