Since the early days when Lasik surgery became popular and people started to try it out, I have been interested in the procedure even though I do not need it yet. I am interested in the development because I have friends who underwent this procedure and some have not been satisfied with the outcome. Many suffered from dry eye.
Recently, there was a new studies released about Lasik which says that overall outcome of Lasik has improved a lot with 90% of the patients achieving vision 20/40. Only about 3% of patients suffered unresolved complications six months after and 0.5% of these being serious and requires invasive correction or extensive maintenance.
I am actually not surprised that Lasik has become so much safer and thanks to advanced medical procedures, technology, techniques and better patient selection.
This report has changed my opinion about Lasik. I think that it is now safer to undergo Lasik. However, I do not think that dry eye should be the trade off in not needing glasses or contact lens.
I believe that in time to come, Lasik will be as safe and complication-free as getting our hair done.
