LASIK is an incredibly safe procedure and has been studied extensively over three decades. Thousands of eye doctors have had LASIK themselves. However, as with all procedures there are risks. The risks depend upon the surgeon experience, the laser technology used, the technique performed, your prescription, the health of your eye and the corneal shape. Your general health can also impact the healing. Today, LASIK has advanced so dramatically with customer treatment patterns, laser made flaps advanced eye trackers that check your eye position more than 1000 times per second so you should feel very comfortable. Most people also do not recognize that there are serious risks with contact lens wear as well. Have a consultation, or have a couple of consultations and then make a decision.
