LASIK has been responsible for giving many people a gift of vision through its speedy process and reliable surgery. However, just like any other medical treatment, there may be some minor risks involved which can be eased through post-operative precautions.
The most common risk related to laser eye surgery is dryness in the eyes due to reduction in the corneal nerve sensitivity as a result of penetration of the eye’s surface. But the good news is that all the side effects of the surgery are able to heal within the recovery period either on their own or through the help of your eye surgeon. The benefits, however, outweigh the risks by pure numbers which is why LASIK is highly popular as a vision correction surgical procedure.
Quick Recovery from the Surgery
LASIK surgery is a quick procedure that lasts for nothing more than 15 minutes and some patients report clarity of vision almost immediately. You will be amazed at how clearly you can see starting from the day following surgery itself. The best thing is that your vision keeps improving over the recovery period following the treatment. It takes a total of three months for the eyes to heal completely and for you to stop taking any post operative precautions that were recommended after surgery.
LASIK eye surgery may be a quick procedure, but it does need the extreme precision and steady hands of an experienced surgeon to perform the treatment. You must always rely on the who comes with years of hands on experience and a great reputation. Sugarland Eye & Laser Center in Houston is well known for its cutting edge technology and qualified surgeons who undertake your surgery to give you a lifetime of clarity.
Ditch the Eyewear
You can get exceptional results after getting the LASIK procedure. Some people get accurate vision of 20/20 and some get 20/10. Post operation results of your vision clarity depend a lot on your vision before the operation. In any case, you can get the freedom you always desired from wearing glasses during most of the activities which include sporting activities too.
You can now also spare yourself from constant cleaning and replacement of your contact lenses and not to mention the risk of infecting your eye as a result of dust. You get freedom from not just the glasses and the contacts, but also the weight of a frame on your nose and itchiness caused due to lenses.
Let LASIK Pay for Itself
When you use LASIK as a treatment for vision improvement, rest assured that you just got the permanent solution. You do not need to spend any further on renewal of contact lenses or buying new spectacles. You would also not require any appointments with your eye doctor any more to get prescription updates.
Before you think you are ready for a treatment, all the reputable surgeons will screen their patients to ensure that you are a good candidate for the procedure. By choosing the candidates through careful screening, the doctors eliminate any risk of complications and will promise you clear vision only if you are eligible for it.
