FACT ABOUT LASIK
|
| • |
Lasik is surgery to a very delicate part of the eye.
|
| • |
Millions of people have had Lasik, most very successfully.
|
| • |
As with any surgery, there are risks and possible complications.
|
| • |
Lasik may not give you perfect vision. The American Academy of Ophthalmology(AAO)
reports that seven out of 10 patients achieve 20/20 vision, but 20/20 does not
always mean perfect vision.
|
| • |
If you have Lasik to correct your distance vision, you may still need reading
glasses around age 45.
|
| • |
Lasik surgery is too new to know if there are any long-term effects beyond
five years after surgery.
|
| • |
Lasik surgery cannot be reversed.
|
| • |
Most insurance does not cover the surgery.
|
| • |
You may need additional surgery - called "enhancements" to get the best
possible vision after Lasik.
|
After knowing the Fact of Lasik, why do I still need Laser Correction ?
Probably because you have a condition called myopia or nearsightedness.
When light rays enter the eye, they get bent or "refracted" into focus.
If the refractive power of your eye is just right, the image will focus
on the retina--a thin layer of tissue in the back of the eye that processes
images and sends them to the brain--and you'll see clearly without glasses.
But if the eye is a little too long (myopia) or too short (hyperopia) some
images will be blurry.
