I want to get lasik surgery but I remember about 9 years ago when I was about 18 and I wanted to get the procedure done, someone I worked with told me that it was dangerous. She told me before lasik there was a different type of eye surgery. It produced the same result as the lasik but 20 years later there vision was worse than before and they were practically blind. That scared me. Is this true? Is lasik surgery safe?

Lasik surgery is a surgical technical aiming at correcting vision of people who are nearsighted, farsighted or have astigmatism. There are divergent points of view on the matter. Patients needing LASIK surgery often think that they will never eye glass or contact one day. It is obvious that more than the majority of patients undergoing LASIK surgery do present an improvement of their vision after the surgery unfortunately other patients are not that happy. Therefore some patients may still need eyeglasses or contact after the surgery. Some patients even revealed a worse vision after undergoing the surgery than before. As a rule of thumb, you should always not have high expectations of LASIK.

It is believed that Lasik will be of great help to many patients. Indeed, patients undergoing Lasik encountered an improvement factor of a minimum of 20/40 in their vision. Unfortunately, this figure is not always true as there are some cases where patients should be wary of. Therefore, before deciding to undergo LASIK surgery, you should always do a lot of research background on the subject in order to make sure that you fully understand what you are heading to.

There are some positive statistics about Lasik surgery though. A survey revealed that up to 94 percent of all Lasik patients are happy with the results and present an improvement factor of at least 20/20 after the surgery. According to the same survey, nearly all patients were suggested to undergo Lasik by their friends. The same survey shows that 25 percent of patients with problems experience during the surgery could have been sorted out with a good warming-up before the surgery actually takes place. Lasik is also believed not to vision of farsighted or nearsighted patients if they are more than forty. Twenty five percent of patients were reported to have night vision problems after the surgery. These were sorted out within a few months.

Although Lasik is one of the easiest surgeries in medicine, patients should be aware of its expectations before undergoing the surgery. For instance, it is common to see patients undergoing the surgery with no knowledge of the recovery time. The healing time, on the other hand, is quite fast, but you should not fasten your seat belt before two hours. Your doctor is very likely to advise you not to drive by a week after undergoing the surgery. Another recommendation is the inability to go to work by four days after the surgery. Although Lasik is generally a harmless surgery, some patients encounter a pain on their eye shortly after the surgery.

Furthermore, patients undergoing Lasik should look after themselves after the surgery. Meeting your doctor frequently in order to monitor the progress is an essential part of the process. Always make sure that you keep taking any drugs that were giving to you by the doctor in order to get the best result from the surgery. Your doctor should be able to give you specific advice about any drug that was recommended to you. You should also note that there may be a break in sport activities following the Lasik surgery.

Should you not fully understand risks of the Lasik surgery and have realistic expectations of it, please do not undergo the surgery. Before deciding to undergo the surgery make sure it is the right option available to you. Many patients showing poor results after the surgery were not prone to the Lasik surgery. You should discuss in depth the matter with your doctor. Do not hide any details about your eye condition over the past because these can be crucial.

Before deciding to undergo the surgery you should ask yourself this question: am I a good candidate for the Lasik procedure?

Qualifications of a good candidate for Lasik include the following:

- Women who are not pregnant due to the high number of hormone variations during pregnancy

- Significant health or eye problems. These include diabetes, hepatitis.

Briefly speaking, many patients can benefits from Lasik surgery provided they do not have high expectations beforehand. They should understand that it is not a miracle surgery and is therefore prone to some drawbacks. Lasik can help people with poor vision. Remember to double check with your doctor if you are a good candidate for Lasik before heading to the operation room.

The first significant step before the Lasik surgery is to have a comprehensive eye examination, in order to be sure that you are a good candidate for the Lasik procedure. A map of your eye will be created during this exam. This map is used in order for the Lasik physician to determine how to reshape your eye to give you the clearest post-operative vision possible.

This eye exam will do several things. Your eyes will be dilated in order to see if there are any irregularities within the eye itself. The thickness of the cornea will be measured, and a precise map of the cornea will be generated. The “refractive error” (or the reason why your vision isn’t currently perfect) will be accurately analyzed in order for the Lasik procedure to get the best results possible. Finally, how your eyes generate tears will be closely looked at, as good tear production is essential for the health of every eye.

Before or after these measurements, the Lasik physician will discuss your past medical history to see any previous operations or any ongoing health problems. A few chronic conditions may make the Lasik procedure not a good option for some people, and also women currently expecting should wait for some time after delivery. The physician also will discuss the expectations the Lasik client has about the operation and subsequent changes in their lifestyle.

Though most people pass through this Lasik eye exam with flying colors, be prepared for some suggestions or serious discussion. Your eye map may indicate that a newer form of Lasik procedure might be better, such as one that generates a three dimensional waveform for each eye. Tear production issues may indicate that the Lasik procedure is not the best option for you, and the Lasik physician may recommend another solution.

If all goes well and the Lasik procedure is scheduled, the physician will review the treatment plan and what the client should do to prepare for the Lasik surgery. This plan may vary slightly between patients, but in general will look something like the schedule below. Always follow the recommendations of your Lasik physician closely.

First, contact lenses should be avoided for several weeks prior to Lasik vision correction, since contacts can slightly affect the shape of your cornea. It is important to let your eyes rest in order to get the most accurate Lasik vision improvement possible. Hard contacts should be avoided for a month, soft contacts for at least two weeks.

Stop using any lotions, makeup, or anything else that could possibly get into the eye the day or two before surgery. It is important to have your eyes as rested as possible before the Lasik operation. Also, arrange for someone else to drive you home after the Lasik procedure itself.

These are the most common steps to prepare you for an easy and successful Lasik procedure. Make sure you give the doctor all information needed for your case, and follow his directions closely. The Lasik procedure will give you a new outlook in life!
