Benefits
What are the benefits of LASIK?
The Benefits of LASIK Include:
- Immediate results. As soon as the procedure is complete, the patient will notice an improvement in vision, which continues as the eye heals.
- Quick procedure. It takes just 5 to 15 minutes to finish both eyes.
- Little to no pain. After surgery, some patients describe a temporary sensation that’s similar to an eyelash in the eye.
- Minimal downtime. Patients often return to work the next day.
- Restored peripheral vision. Unlike glasses, LASIK can restore peripheral vision.
- Long-term. For many patients, LASIK is permanent. The need for glasses or contacts may be eliminated entirely. Patients who undergo LASIK rarely need an enhancement (i.e. repeat treatment).
- Low risk. Complications from LASIK are very rare, with fewer than 1% of patients reporting problems requiring further treatment.
- Money saved. LASIK saves the patient money in the long-term by eliminating the need to regularly replace glasses and contacts.
