Correction Procedures: LASIK
Considerations
- LASIK is a permanent surgery to the cornea. It cannot be reversed.
- The goal of LASIK is to reduce the dependence on eyeglasses and/or contact lenses, NOT to provide perfect or near perfect vision. While some patients may achieve perfect vision after refractive surgery, perfect vision should NOT BE EXPECTED.
- Patients must understand all alternative methods for vision correction including LASIK, INTACS, PHASER, RK and AK surgery.
- Military personnel and applicants from other occupations where good uncorrected vision is a necessity should check with their leadership prior to any refractive procedure to be sure that such procedure would not cause them to be ineligible for current or any future duties.
- It may be necessary to have both eyes treated to achieve a satisfactory result.
- Most patients over age 40 will need glasses to see up close after LASIK surgery.
