1. Should I Opt for Lasik Vision Correction?
Did you know that about 8 million Americans had undergone Lasik vision
correction as of 2018?
Did you know that over 40 million Lasik vision correction surgeries were
performed between 1991 and 2016?
Yes, Lasik vision correction is a desirable solution to simple eye defects obviously grossly
due to its permanence and the fact that one does not have to constantly possess
eyeglasses or contact lenses to maintain visual acuity. However, one must not be blinded
by the "visual paradise" it offers as there are also pitfalls to its seemingly perfect second
chance at flawless vision. This article opens with a summary of feedback from people
that have undergone Lasik vision correction surgery before elaborating on the associated
risks.

2. Does It Work?
Yes! Lasik vision correction surgery does work indeed!
Surveys have revealed patient satisfaction rate with laser surgery to be between 92 and
98 percent. As a matter of fact, the British National Health Service's National Institute
for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE) in 2006 conclusively stated that, according to
evidence, Lasik was a "safe and efficacious" correction technique for refractive errors if
used for the right patients. Therefore, Lasik is really worth a top option for patients
hoping to have their visions corrected.

3. What are the Risks?
Below is a list of some possible complications associated with Lasik vision correction
surgery. Before going through the list, however, it is worth noting that LASIK
technology has advanced so much that the risk of significant medical complications
has become significantly low. In fact, the UK National Health Service reports the
occurrence of complications to be less than 5%. The risk are:

4.  Flap complications.
 Slipped flap.
 Flap interface particles.
 Diffuse lamellar keratitis.
 Infection.
 Post-LASIK corneal ectasia: this is astigmatism caused by bulging of the cornea.
 Subconjunctival hemorrhage.
 Corneal scarring.
 Epithelial ingrowth.
 Traumatic flap dislocations.
 Retinal detachment.
 Choroidal neovascularization.
 Uveitis: it is the inflammation of the middle layer of the eye.
 Myopic shift at low atmospheric pressures, e.g. high altitudes.
