The Benefits of LASIK Eye Surgery
LASIK can be a viable option for many people. Complications are rare, and most patients see amazing results. The treatment, officially known as Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis, has boasted FDA approval since 2009. You may benefit from this procedure if you are nearsighted, farsighted, or have astigmatism.
Consider some of the benefits that people have from this type of procedure:
- Low risks. Complications and side effects from LASIK are uncommon, and the results are immediate.
- Short recovery. Recovery does not take long, and there is little discomfort involved in the procedure.
- Improve vision significantly. Many people see significant improvement in their vision, with about 90% achieving 20/20 vision after the procedure.
- Affordable and accessible care. Over the last few years, LASIK procedures have become more affordable and accessible even as the technology improves to minimize risks to patients.
If your eyes are healthy, LASIK can be a good option for improving vision. However, there may be some limitations for those who have immune system diseases or conditions, including lupus, HIV, or arthritis.
It is a good idea to have an eye exam and speak to your eye surgeon about how much your vision may improve and whether LASIK is the best choice for you. For many people, LASIK is an exceptional investment in your quality of life and vision.
