LASIK technology and safety information

LASIK information is valuable if you are considering Lasik as a vision correction procedure.

LASIK, the popular vision correction procedure is something that many of us are interested in. This was also the topic of a recent FDA panel meeting. At that meeting the safety and success of this procedure was reaffirmed. There was scientific data given that showed 95.4% of LASIK patients worldwide are satisfied with their results.

“As one of the most studied medical procedures, LASIK is well-established and has an exceptional track record,” said Kerry D. Solomon, M.D. a world-renowned ophthalmologist and refractive surgeon at the Storm Eye Institute. “Today’s modern LASIK delivers superior safety and better visual results than ever before.”

Those are pretty reassuring statements. When a Renowned person whose credentials are verifiable makes bold statements, they usually can be relied upon.

Here are some of the other things that Dr. Solomon Said! He tells the story better than Willy ever could. Check out these statements. Always remember to - about 8 years ago Tiger Woods had Lasik surgery and he is the best golfer in the world!

Dr. Solomon on LASIK:

Q: What is LASIK?
A: Today’s modern LASIK combines 3D mapping and customized treatment for the 1st all-laser technology. The US Military & NASA have approved this combination on personnel including pilots and astronauts. It’s the pinnacle of LASIK technology.

Q: Is everyone a candidate?
A: No. On average 20-25% of people are ineligible. Those with thin, irregularly shaped corneas or unrealistic expectations are not considered good candidates.

Q: What to do if I’m considering LASIK?
A: Talk to people and ask for referrals to find a good physician. The best patients do their own research. The estimated 2 hour exam includes 3-D mapping, customized wave-front measurements of your eye and an examination of your corneas.

Q: Does it hurt?
A: It's fast and nearly painless. Remember, LASIK is surgery. Recognizing benefits and risks is vital. Serious complications are less than 1%. These may include dry eye, halos & double vision that resolve over time or are managed by enhancements or therapy such as drops to replace the eye’s moisture.

“LASIK changes lives for the better. With today’s advanced technologies there is no better time to have LASIK”
-Dr. Solomon.

Well that pretty well tells the story. The question is - do you have a need for Lasik and if you do is it right for you.
