Welcome to DocShop's Patient Education Page devoted to Laser Vision Correction Surgery Frequently Asked Questions.
Here are some commonly asked questions and answers about LASIK surgery: is the procedure safe? If you are a good candidate, yes. LASIK averages a 95 percent success rate among most experienced LASIK surgeons.
What about pain? LASIK is typically a near-painless procedure, and any mild discomfort can usually be controlled with medication.
What are the risks of LASIK? Common side effects include starbursts; glare and night vision difficulties, and foreign body sensation. Most of these are temporary and should pass within days or weeks of surgery. About one-to-two percent of LASIK patients have permanent side effects. You should talk to at least one LASIK surgeon prior to surgery to find out if you are prone to complications.
More answers to frequently asked questions about LASIK can be found on our web-page. And you can contact a surgeon directly through DocShop with any questions or concerns you may have.
