Knowing The Rewards Of Having LASIK

There’s not much wonder why LASIK stays as one of the most popular elective surgeries in the Philippines for quite some time already.

Given that LASIK, which stands for laser-assisted in situ keratomileuses, gives one a brighter vision in an instant, its satisfaction rating among patients who’ve had the procedure is constantly and remarkably high. According to the most recent studies worldwide, around 98% of LASIK patients achieve a 20/20 vision or better.

The appeal of LASIK is very obvious – an excellent chance to ditch the glasses or the daily routine and expense of contact lenses, slippery cases, pricey bottles of cleaning and storage solutions. Over time, it even makes sense budget and convenience wise.

To fully understand and grasp the rewards that LASIK present, patients are highly encouraged to do research, watch in-depth videos of the procedures, and have beneficial consultations.

With LASIK, lasers correct eyesight by reshaping tissue under the cornea, the round dome at the front of the eye. The doctor flattens the eye and cuts a flap to reshape the middle section of the cornea. The reshaping of the tissue changes the way light focuses on the retina, making your vision clearer.

LASIK technology has also greatly improved over the years. New lasers and machines are more precise, and minimal patients have the general side effects associate6d with it. Complications from LASIK eye surgery are extremely rare.

In general, the success rate of LASIK is exceptionally high, especially for elective surgery. Success is typically defined by the quality of vision and patient satisfaction. LASIK weighs in at 96% satisfaction, according to the Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery.

These are proven reasons why LASIK is such an in-demand vision enhancement procedure in the country.
