Some Facts About Lasik
INTERESTING
Tags: Lasik, surgery, vision
According to the FTC, here are some facts you should know if you are considering Lasik Surgery:
| | Lasik is surgery to a very delicate part of the eye. |
| | Hundreds of thousands of people have had Lasik, most very successfully. |
| | As with any surgery, there are risks and possible complications. |
| | Lasik may not give you perfect vision. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) reports that seven out of 10 patients achieve 20/20 vision, but 20/20 does not always mean perfect vision. |
| | If you have Lasik to correct your distance vision, you'll still need reading glasses around age 45. |
| | Lasik surgery is too new to know if there are any long-term ill effects beyond five years after surgery. |
| | Lasik surgery cannot be reversed. |
| | Most insurance does not cover the surgery. |
| | You may need additional surgery — called "enhancements" — to get the best possible vision after Lasik. |
