Testimonials
Dear Dr. Soroudi, I have been suffering from droopy eyelids and puffy bags under my eyes for years. So many people asked me if I was angry or depressed or if I hadn't had much sleep, but I was fine; it was just the way I looked.

Santa Monica Lasik corrective surgery
Large numbers of the population suffer from either short-sightedness or long-sightedness, but thankfully nowadays there is an easy solution to this problem in the form of Santa Monica Lasik surgery. This can even correct astigmatisms, and the surgery takes just a few minutes. Afterwards you will have a complete new perspective on life. However it is worthwhile choosing your surgeon with care and asking around to see who people recommend. You may be surprised to find just how many people you know who have had corrective surgery on their eyesight. Check out your surgeon’s credentials very carefully and ask how many surgeries they perform each year. Experienced surgeons will be used to performing a wide variety of procedures, not just Lasik. The very best are used to correcting Lasik procedures that have been incorrectly performed by other surgeons. These are the people you want to trust with your eyesight.
When you book an initial appointment for Santa Monica Lasik corrective surgery you may be advised of the cost of this procedure. When you take into account the cost of contact lenses and solutions and glasses it soon becomes apparent that although the initial outlay may seem quite high, you will be saving money in the long run as well as experiencing the pleasure of having near-perfect sight again. Your ophthalmologist will need to perform a thorough examination of your eyes and will take measurements to see the full extent of the correction needed. They should also discuss the surgery with you and tell you exactly what is involved as well as any possible complications. Most people do not experience any real side effects, but it’s important to be well informed so that you make the correct decision on whether or not to have Santa Monica Lasik surgery. Your surgeon may also tell you that there are two different types of Lasik surgery available, and that Wavefront Lasik offers the chance of 20/20 vision. Wavefront has proved to be very good for people who need to rely heavily on having perfect sight, and is ideal for sportsmen and women. However ordinary Lasik eye surgery offers a very good degree of correction that is more than adequate for most people.
Your Santa Monica Lasik ophthalmic surgeon will be able to advise you as to which option would be best. If you wear contact lenses you will need to be prepared to leave them out between one and six weeks. The length of time depends on whether you wear hard or soft contact lenses and the number of years you have been wearing them for and the degree of distortion to the shape of your eye. People who have been wearing contact lenses many years have a higher degree of distortion than those who only wear them occasionally. There is absolutely no need to be worried about the surgery, and you should only need to take one day off work, although your sight may be a little blurry for a few days after as it adjusts. Be sure to follow your Santa Monica Lasik after-care instructions precisely to minimise any risk of complications.
