Default LASIK Risks and Benefits

I want to share this article that I read about Lasik.Since Im also planning to undergo in the near future. Hope this one will to give more knowledge about Lasik. Most patients are extremely pleased with their LASIK results. LASIK eye surgery benefits include improved visual activity, freedom from corrective eyewear, and possibly new career opportunities. Patients who achieve a successful LASIK outcome can eliminate their need for glasses or contact lenses, and enjoy the freedom of clear vision at all times. Patients can play sports, swim, spend a day at the beach, and participate in various activities without the restrictions that glasses and contacts bring. LASIK eye surgery is a safe and effective treatment that has continued to gain popularity among patients.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks associated with LASIK, but in the hands of a highly skilled and experienced surgeon, LASIK is a particularly safe and reliable procedure. Nevertheless, you should talk with your surgeon about any risks associated with the procedure, as well as all the benefits. Keep in mind that at Lasik-1 your care will be entrusted to an industry leading surgeon who uses some of the most advanced LASIK technology available today. You can check my2020 for more information about Lasik. Godbless

Here is my experience with Lasik/PRK. I had PRK on my R eye and Lasik on the L. I was very nearsighted. (In Lasik the cornea is cut like a flap and placed back on the eye, in PRK it is removed and grows back). It has been 16 months since the procedure. First, driving at night is just about impossible due to starbursts. I don't drive a lot at night so it's not a problem, but if I were a truck driver or a similar profession I would have to change professions. The PRK eye does get painful at times, as if a large hair was in my eye. It also gets very dry. My day vision is very good, but I still need reading glasse to read. Would I get it again? It really is a toss up. I am not capable of driving at night safely. I am a 57 year old male and I probably would not have the procedure if I new the negative effects. Many people complain about dry eyes as a result of the procedure. Ask a lot of questions before having it done and don't talk yourself into it if you are one of the people who is at a higher risk for having problems. Good luck!
