Verification of a facilitys licensure and accreditation is an important step in assuring an excellent outcome. Before having LASIK done anywhere, we recommend verifying with the surgeon that:
The LASIK procedure will be performed using true sterile technique
All supplies are properly disposed of between patients
All equipment is sterilized between patients in accordance with the most stringent hospital operating room standards
The surgical facility, including the laser room, is state licensed as a surgical facility by the Agency for Health Care Administration (AHCA)*
The surgical facility is inspected and accredited by a national, independent accrediting agency (such as the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations)
* The Agency for Health Care Administration is the licensing agency for surgical centers in the State of Florida. To verify a centers licensure, contact AHCA at 1-850-487-2717 or visit www.fdhc.state.fl.us. |
