Learning the Risks of LASIK

Posted By admin on July 12, 2008 @ 8:49 am

Though the thought of not having to wear glasses anymore gets me excited, it is also a scary thing.  I don’t quite like the idea of a laser shining into my eye which is what happens when you get LASIK eye surgery.

I guess for myself, I needed to find out whether or not the LASIK risks were worth the benefits.  Sure, I would like to get rid of my glasses just like everyone else, but what if something were to go wrong, I would hope that the problem wouldn’t be catastrophic.

One of my main concerns about the whole procedure is that it doesn’t fully correct my vision and that I would still have to wear corrective lenses or glasses.  According to some of the LASIK side effects I have read about, that is a distinct possibility.

It doesn’t help that I am really picky about my vision, and if it even changes a little, I need to change my prescription lenses.  I think that I might go in to talk to a specialist before I get the surgery done - I need all the answers before I go through with it.
