| To help you in your decision making process:
It is not only patients who perceive the benefits. Eye surgoens around the world are enthusiastic about LASIK when they see how clear and healthy the cornea can appear within days of treatment. Our doctors have perfomed LASIK for hundreds of medical doctors.
Since the recovery is rapid after LASIK, we can offer, for most degrees of shortsigted, the treatment for both eyes on the same occasion.
The benefits to having LASIK surgery are:
- A life without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses.
- Increase job opportunity and performance with better eyesight.
- A more convenient, easy lifestyle.
- Permanent results for the rest of your life.
- A quick easy treatment process and only a one-day post operation check-up before going back to work and resuming your normal lifestyle.
- Pain-free surgery, using numbing drops, instead of general anesthesia and sutures.
A good candidate for LASIK surgery:
- A person who desires the freedom from wearing glasses and/or contact lenses and dislikes the inconveniences that occur from ones’ dependence on eyewear.
- All individuals considering LASIK surgery must be at least 18 years old. Young eyes are still in their development stages and are constantly changing, so it is advisable to wait until eyes reach their mature, stable phase. This will assure the most positive, permanent result.
- An individual free of corneal disease, especially keratoconus or thin cornea, or any disease that will delay the wound healing process.
- Pregnant woman are not allowed to receive LASIK treatment due to the
instability of the bodies hormones.
- People who have a complete understanding of the benefit and side effects of the LASIK surgery, and have realistic expectations of the outcomes.
What to expect after LASIK
The patient who has received LASIK will see better after surgery and be able to drive, watch the television, play sports and go on with his/her normal lifestyle free of glasses or contact lens. However, even with LASIK, there is no guarantee that the result will always be 20/20, but even patients with extremely high levels of refraction have reported satisfactory results. Our goal is to ensure your safety and produce the best possible results, freeing you from having to wear glasses or contact lens, improving the quality of your life and your vision.
A person with high myopia will probably not be able to correct the myopia 100% at one time. They might need to undergo enhancement or further retreatment. As for the laser enhancement, the corneal thickness has to be considered and the patient should wait 3 months after first LASIK. Additional discussion with our refractive surgery specialist is necessary before the process can begin |
