You probably have questions about how long your LASIK treatment will last and whether or not follow up treatments will be necessary. Because each person has unique eyes, it is impossible to state with 100 percent certainty that you will never need to have follow up treatments after LASIK. However, you should keep the following in mind:
- LASIK is considered a permanent procedure
- Only about 1 percent of LASIK patients experience complications
- Some patients experience minor negative side effects, most of which disappear within a few weeks
- LASIK, particularly CustomVue and Wavefront LASIK, usually provide better-than-20/20 eyesight
- Very few patients ever need a second corrective procedure after their first laser vision correction surgery
We schedule follow up appointments for all our patients to ensure that the flap created on the surface of the eye is healing correctly after laser vision surgery. Additionally, Dr. Harvey Carter is a preferred provider of corrective treatments to patients who have visited other eye clinics for surgery and are not happy with their results.
Please learn more about LASIK from Carter Eye Center and ask your questions about follow up treatments after LASIK by contacting Dr. Harvey Carter, creating 20/20 or better vision for patients in Dallas, Texas.
