What is more important? The doctor or the technology?

Dr. Victor Derhartunian weighs the importance of the treating physician and the technology used in laser eye surgery

Both factors are very important, both the laser eye technology and the surgeon performing the operation.
However, it is important to remember that laser eye surgery is not just the operation itself, but perhaps even more important is the preparation for the operation.
The procedure itself is only the execution of the operation, based on the data already collected.
Equally important is the aftercare, where we see how the results of this treatment have turned out.
If the result is not optimal, we can still turn the screw and correct the result.
That’s what makes the whole treatment.
