Can LASIK correct all eyesight problems ? |
| |
No. Tests
must be performed in order to determine whether
you are a suitable candidate for LASIK treatment.
In certain cases, other alternatives may be considered
such as a minor surgery consisting of inserting
the implantable contact lens (ICL) in the eye.
This new operation takes approximately 15 minutes
and has the advantage of treating those who are
not suitable candidates for LASIK. |

What are
the risks associated with LASIK ? |
| |
like any
surgical procedure, LASIK has some risks which
will be fully explained to you before the surgery.

| |
Will I have
20/20 vision ? |
| |
As with all
surgical procedures, we cannot guarantee that
your vision will be perfect or that you will never
need to wear glasses. However, the majority of
patients can see well enough to pass a driver's
test without glasses. |
|
| |
Will I need
more than one procedure ? |
| |
In the months
following surgery you may experience some regression,
which may improve spontaneously. If not, a second
LASIK procedure will be performed, free of charge,
to correct the problem. Most patients require
only one surgical procedure. |
