Benefits of LASIK

It would be an understatement to say that the successful LASIK procedure has made it possible for many thousands of people to see better. In addition to vision improvement, LASIK usually eliminates the need for glasses, altogether. And when they are needed, it should certainly reduce that need to special circumstances, such as driving at night or reading fine print, if over age 40.

If you work in an industry that relies on accurate vision, LASIK has been approved for some of the most critical workers such as airplane pilots, astronauts, firefighters and emergency responders. LASIK is also sought by sports players because of its potential to eliminate the need for glasses and contact lenses.

A few of the many benefits of LASIK are:

• LASIK patients typically achieve at least 20/20 vision, and often better than 20/20 vision. One study showed that 85% of 908 participants achieved 20/16 vision, and 97% of 34 patients received 20/20 or better
• LASIK patients heal faster than those undergoing other procedures. Recovery can be I as little as one day to one week
• LASIK patients experience less discomfort
• LASIK patients recover faster. They can drive the next day after surgery.
• Most LASIK patients experience instant visual clarity
• Undesirable side effects, such as corneal haze, are very rare

LASIK is an outpatient procedure that takes about five minutes per eye. The actual procedure takes only a minute or so, with the rest of the time spent in preparation. For such a small investment of time to produce such remarkable results, these are priceless benefits to LASIK.
