Lasik can be a blessing for those who are sick and tired of the hassle of glasses and contacts. Lasik eye surgery has in the recent past become more and more dependable

This is a fact evidenced by the three million odd , successful lasik surgeries done the world over, and a little over a million in USA alone.The fact that the FDA has approved LASIK and PRK devices and the procedures have passed the scrutiny of various agencies should comfort all of us. There are some factors to carefully consider, however:

The Facts

Lasik is surgery to a very delicate part of the eye.

As with any surgery, there are risks and possible complications. Lasik may not give you perfect vision. The American Academy of Ophthalmology (AAO) reports that seven out of 10 patients achieve 20/20 vision, but 20/20 does not always mean perfect vision.

If you have Lasik to correct your distance vision, you'll still need reading glasses around age 45.

Weigh the risks and rewards. If you're happy wearing contacts or glasses, you may want to forego the surgery.

 Lasik surgery cannot be reversed.

 Most insurance does not cover the surgery.

You may need additional surgery - called "enhancements" - to get the best possible vision after Lasik.
