Facts About Lasik Surgery

There are some important facts which you should know before undergoing LASIK surgery. It is important to make up your mind first and ask yourself if you really want to undergo a LASIK surgery. This is important because once you have undergone LASIK you will have to live with it for the rest of your life. LASIK surgeries don't come with any such guarantees that after undergoing one you won't have to wear glasses again. In fact, some people may still require glasses after surgery.

There are also cases of patients who have dry eyes symptoms and other eye conditions after surgery. Thankfully, these cases are rare and as medical Lasik technology continues to improve, these cases will become a thing of the past.

You should also look for a surgeon who is well reputed and get a good idea from him about the complication factors involved in such type of surgeries. It is important to know your refractive error before undergoing it because the more you are myopic; more are the chances that you will need a surgery again.

These types of surgeries are called as refinement surgeries. So ask your surgeon well before if you will need a refinement surgery later. LASIK surgeries are not suitable for everyone. Especially for individuals who have severe dry eyes, suffering from corneal disease and other such eye conditions. The eye surgeries are carried out when you are fully awake so it's better to understand the procedure before you opt for one.
