At Houston Eye Associates, we have nine expert LASIK surgeons and are excited to share with you the many benefits of LASIK refractive surgery. LASIK, or Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis, is a popular procedure that can correct vision problems such as nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism.
Here are just a few of the many benefits of LASIK refractive surgery:
Improved vision: The most obvious benefit of LASIK is improved vision. After the procedure, many patients are able to see clearly without the need for glasses or contacts. This can greatly improve quality of life, making activities such as driving, reading, and playing sports much easier.
Quick recovery: Unlike other types of surgery, LASIK has a relatively quick recovery time. Most patients are able to return to work and other normal activities within a few days of the procedure. There may be some discomfort and sensitivity to light immediately following the surgery, but this typically subsides within a day or two.
Long-lasting results: LASIK is a permanent procedure, meaning that the results should last for many years. While some patients may need a touch-up procedure down the line, the vast majority of patients enjoy improved vision for the rest of their lives.
Cost-effective: While LASIK can be a significant upfront cost, it is often more cost-effective overall compared to the ongoing expense of glasses and contact lenses. Patients can save money on replacement glasses and contacts, and other related expenses.
Increased confidence: Many patients report feeling more confident and self-assured after LASIK. The procedure can eliminate the need for glasses or contacts, which can be a source of self-consciousness for some people. This newfound confidence can have a positive impact on many areas of a person's life.
Safe and effective: LASIK is a safe and effective procedure that has been performed on millions of people around the world. As with any surgery, there are some risks involved, but the vast majority of patients experience no serious complications.
