“LASIK’S High Satisfaction Rate”

The vast majority of patients who undergo LASIK (the laser-assisted surgery that eliminates the need for vision-correcting eyeglasses) are quite satisfied with the results. That is the finding of a review of scientific literature from all over the world that spanned a decade. According to a review of studies reported from 1998 to 2008 reporting on patient satisfaction, some 95.4 percent of patients were satisfied with the results of laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis (LASIK). These results show LASIK to be among the most successful of all elective surgeries. Interestingly, there was no significant difference in patient satisfaction whether the procedure was conducted inside or outside the United States, indicating that the standardization of the procedure seems to be highly consistent.

We encourage patients to ask questions at every step of the refractive surgery process, from initial consultation to follow up appointments. LASIK is not for everyone, and we will advise you about certain conditions that may prevent you from being a good candidate for this procedure. Any change in your vision should prompt a thorough and professional eye examination. We want to help you see beyond your imagination by providing the highest level of eye care. Your vision is priceless!
