LASIK Risks and Benefits

LASIK eye surgery carries with it both the promise of better vision and the risk of complications. Weighing the benefits of laser eye surgery against the risks is an important part of the process when deciding whether or not to undergo LASIK.

Risks

The risk of suffering complications after LASIK eye surgery is low, especially when you visit one of San Diego's more experienced and well-qualified refractive surgeons. Still, LASIK is a surgical procedure, and problems can arise during or after surgery. The most feared but least common possibility is vision loss.

Benefits

A successful LASIK surgery offers many advantages. When LASIK lessens or eliminates a person's needs for glasses or contacts, things like sports, travel, and morning routines can become easier. Having clearer vision can add greater comfort and confidence to people's lives.

The decision to undergo laser eye surgery is a very personal choice. Consider the risks and benefits, and meet with a qualified LASIK eye surgeon to learn more about whether or not LASIK could be right for you.
