LASEK, or Laser Assisted Sub-Epithelial Keratectomy, is a type of refractive eye surgery that uses a laser to reshape the cornea in order to improve vision. A LASEK consent form is a legal document that is provided to patients before undergoing the procedure. The purpose of the consent form is to ensure that the patient is fully informed about the potential risks, benefits, and complications of the LASEK treatment.
The LASEK consent form typically includes details about the procedure, including the expected results, the duration of the treatment, and any potential side effects or risks associated with the treatment. The form may also include information about pre- and post-treatment care, as well as any necessary precautions that the patient should take before and after the procedure.
It is important for patients to carefully review the contents of the LASEK consent form and ask any questions they may have before signing the document, to ensure they fully understand the treatment and any associated risks. The purpose of the LASEK consent form is to protect the patient and the healthcare provider and to ensure a safe and successful treatment outcome.
