It is important to have an understanding of the facts about LASIK in order to have realistic expectations for your surgery. LASIK eye surgery is both safe and effective when it is performed on well-informed patients by experienced surgeons. The majority of LASIK patients are extremely satisfied with the results of their procedure and experience few if any complications. Traditional LASIK surgery has about an 80 percent chance of giving you 20/20 vision or better. While your vision will likely be significantly improved by traditional LASIK, custom LASIK will give you about a 98 percent chance of 20/20 vision or better. You have the best chance of an excellent result if you choose a surgeon who has performed a significant number (in the thousands) of LASIK surgeries. Experienced surgeons typically have a complication rate of less than one percent. How LASIK Facts Apply to You
One of the most important roles of a LASIK surgery center is to make sure that patients have a full understanding of what LASIK can offer them. Good surgery centers do this by presenting patients with all of the facts. At Laser Eye Center of Silicon Valley, you will find a knowledgeable staff to answer all of your questions and separate facts from fiction. Even with excellent LASIK results, you may still require eyeglasses or contact lenses in certain situations when best-corrected vision is a necessity, such as night driving or extended reading. Being well-informed and having realistic expectations is the best way to get satisfactory LASIK results.
