Is LASIK Right for Me?

LASIK surgery can reduce or eliminate your dependence on glasses and corrective lenses. If you are wondering if LASIK eye surgery is right for you, you should visit an experienced eye surgeon for a personalized consultation. During this consultation, the surgeon can examine your eyes and determine if LASIK will be a safe and effective option for your vision. The surgeon can also explain the risks and benefits of the procedure, as well as what you can expect if you choose to undergo the surgery.
There are many reasons patients ultimately elect LASIK and decide it's right for them. These reasons often include:

• LASIK provides long-term vision correction. The changes made to your cornea are permanent, and you should continue to enjoy improved vision for many years, although cataracts, presbyopia and other age-related vision changes can still occur.
• LASIK lets you live without the hassle of glasses or contact lenses. You can wake up and start your day, without finding your glasses or going through the routine of putting in your contact lenses.
• LASIK is an effective procedure for good LASIK candidates and has a low complication rate.

You must visit an eye surgeon to find out if you are a candidate and to learn about all the possible risks.
LASIK is not right for everyone, and the only way to know about your candidacy is to visit an eye surgeon.
