Before
you read the list of risks, we advise that you understand
that only approximately 5 percent of all LASIK patients
will experience some degree of refractive surgery complications.
Despite this information, most LASIK patients achieve
visual acuity of 20/40 or greater.
No
Glasses or Contacts ...
LASIK
reshapes the cornea. Similar to the idea of contacts,
patients corneas are reshaped to compensate for what a
contact or pair of eyeglasses would do to benefit your
vision.
Clear
and Natural Vision ...
If
you have bad eyes, and have tried on glasses or contacts
- there is a famous 'wow' factor that follows with the
first few glances through a pair of glasses or contacts.
With this 'wow' factor, LASIK is no exception. Many patients
claim their vision is enhanced the moment they are finished
their procedure. However, the vision is not the result
of glasses or contacts, but your very own eyes - LASIK
is not a peripheral enhancer - rather it is a natural
enhancement.
Cosmetic
Benefits ...
Feel
confident and secure knowing you aren't at the mercy
of an ugly pair of frames and coke bottle lenses. No
one will ever know your vision was at one time unacceptable.
We do, in fact, live in a material world - and glasses
are by no means a fashion statement.
Expanded
Career Opportunities ...
You've
dreamed of being many things, which require above-average
vision. Now this is possible, consider new jobs and achieving
new heights with your new vision. Your eyes can only see
as far as you take them, with LASIK you can bring yourself
(and your eyes) to new plateaus of achievement!
