Effects of Eye Laser Surgery

Laser eye surgery is a great technique but what are the possible effects that can occur from its use? Even though laser surgery is a lot safer than what it used to be, there are still risks associated to the surgical procedure. Before using this method to correct you eye vision it is important to think about the risks involved in such procedure and the possible outcomes of the surgery. Here is a list of positive or negative effects that may occur after the surgery.

1) You probably will obtain a better vision (in most cases close to 10/10). This is the ideal result wanted by everyone as you will no longer need to wear glasses or wear contact lenses.

2) In some cases you may not have any change in your vision or very little even though the surgeon has tried his best. This is obviously disappointing, but not dramatic as your eye will not be damaged and if ever you want to, you can always proceed to another surgery to rectify what went wrong.

3) Occasionally it happens than patients get a worse vision after laser surgery. Patient tend to think that success rate is at 100% which is in fact no the case. It does happen sometimes that your vision becomes worse. To limit this risk try to get a surgeon who has a good reputation and go to private clinics if you can afford it. If ever this happens, you may take surgery again to rectify your vision again, but in some cases the problem can become unfortunately permanent.

4) During and after the lasik surgical procedure it is possible that you catch an infection even though this is rather rare. This can be painful and annoying. If this happens you will have to take antibiotics or drops to stop the inflammation. This should not influence your vision if you take antibiotics in time.

5) The worse than can occur is loosing your vision totally. Blindless may occur in extreme cases, but this is rare. Nevertheless you eye surgeon should inform you that it can occur. But we aware that the risks for this to happen are extremely low and are often caused by unpredictable and unlucky circumstances.

Laser eye surgery? Should I?

Its all nice for me talking to you about what laser eye surgery is, but i have not spoken about i think, and have not given you my recommendations yet...So today i will!

1) So to start the first element i will tell you if you are wondering whether to have eye surgery, is only do it if for you wearing glasses or contact lenses are a real nucance!

2) The second step to look at is what age are you? Has you vision being evolving a lot recently? The reason i am asking you this, is that it would be stupid to do lasik eye surgery if your vision is still evolving. Imagine paying for your eyes surgery, and then after a year your vision has become worse again? That would really be ashame. So make sure that you vision has stabalized.

3) Laser eye surgery has a cost...its clearly not cheap. For example in Calgary the price for lasik surgery per eye is around $375! So for the two it will cost you $750! Even though the prices have apparently come down, due to advance in technology, it is still a real investment. So if you are a bit short moneywise, why not stay with contact lenses?

4) In order to have a good laser treatment and laser surgery i would recommend going to a top eye clinic even though it might be slightly more expensive. Health is important...more than a few hundred dollars!

5) If you can afford it, feel confident and know what you want, then go for it! It will definitely be a big change for you, and would be suprisingly suprised with the changes. 10/10 vision, and a new look (without glasses)!

Lasix Surgery Side Effects

In my last article i talked about the risks of lazic surgery. Today i will look in more details at lasix surgery side effects. By side effects i mean the various issues that often occur after the surgical procedure.

1) One of the main side effects and which is the most frequent, is having temporarly a blurring of your vision which can be quite annoying. You will not be able to drive, or will have difficulties doing activities which require using carefuly your eyes.

2)You might also have a high sensitivity to bright light, which can give you heavy head aches, but this will slowly disappear as your eye gets used to the light.

3) In some cases, your eye might feel a bit dry. This is normal, you should not panic. Also if it feels a bit itchy, well dont touch it, and if ever it becomes too annoying you should ask advice at your eye laser surgeon.

These are the most common issues that occur after lasix surgery. Also i just wanted to add that for those who have had wavefront surgery to go and see regularly their eye specialist after their surgical operation for precaution.
