Does LASIK safe for long-term?


If everyone are following my blog, I'm sure that most of you understand and have your own views what is Lasik all about. My previous post shared knowledge for everyone to consider undergo this surgery or not. After I shared my experience having this surgery, a friend of mine ask a question.."I don't believe you can see after 10 minutes of surgery and the procedures only took less than 15 minutes". Well this is what happen to me and the rest of us who opted to have this surgery. This are some of the questions that people may ask and sometimes is hard to explain within minutes you can see the world clearly without having glasses anymore. Anyway, I would like to share views from the expert that I've read from Foxnews. com/health on the long term effect after doing Lasik.

As this technology started in early 1990's, there are patients has been undergo with this treatment 18 and 19 years ago and they mentioned that their vision still perfect although they choose to use this kind of treatment during early days and using blades. This proof that Lasik does gave a long-term results.

In 2008, a Spanish researcher has produce a study by following 70 Lasik patients for almost 10 years to know the effect on vision towards this treatment. His finding was these patient had healthy corneas and their vision remained accurate. The study also indicate that the procedure is safe and the technology used is effectively  efficient.

So, these are some of the opinion from the expert that I would like to share and at the same time would like people who are interested to know about Lasik to think carefully before making any decision. As for me, the only issues was the dryness at the early stage but with eye drops it help. Other than feeling happy playing football without a wearing glass on it, I've enjoy to have numbers of other activities. It raised my confident level and I feel that sometime decision that we make does make our life changed.

I'll share my thought and opinion from people out there about Lasik in other post. By the way, I'm not promoting any doctors, clinics or hospital for this surgery by I'm sharing my views from experience that I've got for people to know about this treatment and think precisely before making any decision.

See everyone on next post. Take a very good care of your eyes. It is most precious gift from god!
