Lasik surgery is done to improve vision. It alters the shape of cornea so that the light properly gets focused on retina resulting in clear vision. Like with any other surgical process, various precautions and questions comes in the mind of person planning to undergo Lasik surgery.
Following are some of the tips you should consider before having Laser surgery:
Lasik treatment is safe and effective in the long term. With this surgery, the structure of the cornea is altered and near-sightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism are corrected. In this procedure, the surgeon uses the excimer laser for removing the tissues of cornea. Lasik surgery is a permanent treatment and generally does not have any time limitation.
Lasik treatment usually does not cause pain before and after treatment. In rare case, the post-operative Lasik surgery causes pain in your eyes. If you have significant pain after surgery, immediately contact your doctor. Before performing a Lasik surgery, the doctor will administer an eye drop to avoid any type of pain and discomfort during surgery. Some doctor will also prescribe medications to relax your body during a Lasik treatment. As there is no incision on the eyes, this surgery does not involve any stitches. However, your doctor will prescribe you various antibiotics to prevent post-operative infections. You may feel some pressure on the eye after this treatment.
Lasik surgery shows a good result at any age. But some factors affect this surgery at different age such as:
Lasik treatment in a patient with vision problem significantly reduces the need for eyeglasses. The need for glasses after Lasik treatment depends on the age of the patient and other types of vision problems. In some cases, people wear eyeglasses, particularly during reading.
There are no limits, how much time you may undergo this procedure. People may require enhancement surgery or refinement surgery if the prior Lasik failed to achieve the desired vision. But secondary Lasik and Lasik enhancement are based on thickness and size of cornea. The ophthalmologist will evaluate the condition of your eyes and analyze the risk involved with Lasik surgery depending upon your age and other parameters. There is a risk involved with secondary Lasik surgery and many patients are not eligible for enhancement surgery.
