Perfect Vision? No Guarantee
LASIK will almost certainly reduce your dependence on glasses and contact lenses, but there is no guarantee that you will have perfect vision without glasses. While perfect vision is the optimal outcome of LASIK, whether or not you receive it depends on your individual experience. Everyone's eyes and vision are unique. What works for some may not work for others. Success in LASIK depends on the individual. Your personal eyeglass prescription can tell a lot about how you may respond to LASIK. The higher your prescription, the lower the chance of a perfect outcome. Your doctor will study all of your health data and will be able to give you an educated guess on your expected outcome. Every individual is unique...problems will occur in any field of health if a medical professional views every patient in the same way. Read More
