Top Ten FACTS You Should Know About LASIK
With the New Year many of you are thinking about getting rid of your glasses and/or contact lenses permanently – with LASIK. Â But, your a little nervous because someone told you that their aunt had it years ago and she went blind. Â The truth is no one has ever gone blind because of LASIK. Â Check out these 10 LASIK facts:
1. Â LASIK is painless.
2. Â LASIK takes about 15 minutes for both eyes.
3. Â The laser vaporizes microscopic layers of tissue of the cornea (the front part of the eye) in a precise fashion to correct the vision abnormality.
4. Â No stitches are required with LASIK.
5. Â Eye drops are used to anesthetize the eye – no injections are used.
6. Â Both eyes are done at the same time, in most cases.
7. Â LASIK has a low complication rate, less than 2% and the vast majority of these complications are correctable with medication and/or an additional LASIK procedure.
8. Â LASIK patients must be 18 years and older.
9. Â Your prescription should be stable (has not changed in the past 12 months).
10. Â No one has ever gone blind with LASIK.
