Sometimes, common LASIK concerns can prevent people from considering LASIK surgery. Let’s uncover (and banish!) some of those fear factors!
Common LASIK Concern: Cost
Cost is a legitimate fear for some people considering LASIK surgery, which is totally understandable. Take a look at our previous blog, LASIK Cost: The Breakdown for a more in-depth look at the cost of LASIK. You should be individually assessed with a (free!) consultation to determine precisely how much your LASIK procedure will be. However, Eye LASIK Midland offers interest free financing and affordable payment plans to make paying for LASIK even easier. Learn more about our payment options.
Common LASIK Concern: Being Awake
Yes, you do need to be awake during LASIK surgery. However, a specially designed instrument will hold your eye open as you stare ahead during the surgery. Additionally, the laser technology tracks your eye movement more than 4,000 times per second for exact precision. Both eyes can be done (with very little discomfort-maybe just a little pressure or dimmed vision) in under 15 minutes!
Fear not! We’re addressing some of the most common LASIK concerns.
Common LASIK Concern: Results
Another common LASIK concern is the expected results. Some people are afraid that their results may not meet their expectations. However, 92% of patients reach 20/30 or better vision with their procedure. To learn more about what to expect from a LASIK procedure, and to accurately set your expectations, refer to our blog, Eye LASIK Surgery And Results.
Common LASIK Concern: Complications
Like all surgeries (even something as simple as a cavity fill), LASIK does come with some risks. Choosing the most advanced technology as well as a highly reputable facility can reduce the chance of complications. By scheduling a free consultation, we can assess your individual LASIK risks and decide which laser procedure is right for you.
