Share on FacebookShare on Twitter

LASIK, or Laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis, is a popular and highly effective surgical procedure that uses laser technology to correct common vision problems, such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. Despite its effectiveness and safety, there are a number of myths and misconceptions surrounding LASIK. In this post vision correction specialists from Filutowski Eye Institute will separate fact from fiction by debunking the top 5 myths about LASIK.

Myth #1: LASIK is painful

Fact: LASIK is not painful. During the procedure, numbing eye drops are used to ensure that patients do not feel any pain. Some patients may experience mild discomfort or pressure, but this is usually minimal and short-lived. After the procedure, most patients report little to no pain or discomfort.

Myth #2: LASIK has a high risk of complications

Fact: LASIK is a very safe procedure with a low risk of complications. Serious complications, such as infection or significant vision loss, are extremely rare. In fact, the complication rate for LASIK is less than 1%.

Myth #3: LASIK results are not permanent

Fact: LASIK results are generally permanent. The majority of patients achieve 20/20 vision or better after the procedure and maintain this vision for many years. However, it’s important to note that some patients may experience a slight decline in vision over time, especially as they age.

Myth #4: LASIK is not suitable for people with thin corneas

Fact: Advances in laser technology have made LASIK a viable option for people with thin corneas. Today, many laser systems are equipped with advanced corneal mapping and detection technologies that can accurately measure the thickness and shape of the cornea, allowing for a safer and more precise procedure.

Myth #5: LASIK is only for people with severe vision problems

Fact: LASIK can be used to correct a wide range of vision problems, from mild to severe. It is suitable for people with nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. It’s important to consult with an experienced LASIK surgeon to determine if you’re a candidate for the procedure.

LASIK is a safe and effective procedure that can correct a wide range of vision problems. It is not painful, has a low risk of complications, and produces permanent results. Advances in laser technology have also made it a viable option for people with thin corneas. It’s important to consult with an experienced LASIK surgeon to determine if the procedure is right for you.
