The advances we have seen in Lasik surgery in the past 25 years are a testament to human perseverance. When Lasik was first offered at that time only a small portion of patients who met very specific criteria and were suffering from one of only a select few problems even qualified. Of those many surgeries were not complete successes and a number of patients had to go back for multiple surgeries afterwards.
Today Lasik is one of the safest surgeries available. More than seven hundred million patients undergo Lasik surgery each year, and almost all of them experience improvements in vision. Among those patients, more than 90% experience improvement significant to qualify them to operate motor vehicles without the need for contacts or glasses. Most patients achieve 20/20 vision and good number even achieve vision that is better than 20/40. Many optometrists prefer Lasik surgery to traditional surgery and offer only Lasik due to its safety and efficiency.
Lasik surgery can effectively treat vision problems including presbyopia, astigmatism, farsightedness, and nearsightedness – many of the most common vision problems that obscure and limit vision. The dramatic and quick results have given Lasik a wonderful success and safety record and patients rave about the amazing changes Lasik has made in their lives. Lasik can provide permanent improvements in vision and rid patients of any need for glasses and contacts. Patients who choose Lasik surgery can potentially save thousands of dollars over a lifetime, no longer needing to purchase frames, lenses or contacts.
