LASIK laser
vision correction is an exciting, liberating procedure which frees people
of their glasses and contact lenses, resulting in a dramatic life change for the person.
20/20 vision is possible, but expectations of perfection are never guaranteed.
About
90% of the patients achieve legal driving vision without glasses.
As with any surgical procedure, there are risks, but the complication
rate is very low. The LASIK procedure is tightly controlled and uses
leading-edge computers and laser technology.
Glasses
may be necessary for fine-tuning vision under certain conditions like
night driving, computer work, and heavy reading. People over forty usually
require reading glasses unless one eye is purposefully made nearsighted,
bluring that eye for distance. This results in a 'one eye far, one
eye near situation,' or 'monovision'. Most people prefer both eyes
as sharp as possible for distance and the use of reading glasses when
necessary. |
