In the past 15 years, there are almost 28 million people who have taken LASIK surgery, which has now been deemed a method of greatest safety. But some complications can not be avoided. Some of which are not easily detected, while others may cause vision problems. These side-effects may cause problems on one’s vision quality or acuity.

Before receiving LASIK surgery, one should take considerations of all risks and benefits. Sometimes the doctors can not tell all potential risks of such surgery or they neglect to inform the patients. The reason is that no doctor will think that such misfortune will happen on him and his patients. Unfortunately, such side-effects are not what one can choose or decide, but an inseparable part of the surgery. No facts have proved that the patients of the best doctors will not suffer from such side-effects. So do not believe any doctor who estimates the risks or says his patients will never suffer such side-effects.

Thus, one may tend to choose an experienced eye surgeon than a new doctor. Many papers have put that the doctor of LASIK should have a learning experience. Especially, the first few hundreds of patients may suffer more side effects. Of course, it is no need for one to choose a doctor who has experienced several thousands of cases or more. But it is needed to choose some who has done over one thousand cases.

Still more, the amount of side-effects in different time varies. Such there is a great decline in early 2010than 1990s. Of course, there are some reasons for it. The foremost important one is that a better understanding of the doctors on LASIK side-effects has been achieved. Hence, some methods for solution have been devised. Another reason is the great improvement of the technologies, by which safety are greatly enhanced. Some potential risks can be avoided and solutions are provided with the enhancement in technologies.

The LASIK side-effect profile technology has assured the safety of such surgery. And some people can get rid of wearing glasses after such surgery.

·Causes for the failure of LASIK surgery

Some people may want to know when is the very time for them to receive LASIK, particular the old people, who may doubt the time is too late. Especially, some think if one wears reading glasses, the surgery is too late. Technically, this saying is not all correct, for people can still take such surgery, but have to wear eyewear still more. Of course, the younger one is the better for him to have LASIK. The benefit is they can almost dispose of glasses after this surgery.

One may want to know what time is the best chance for him to get LASIK, for he has different daily arrangement or work. Of course, these factors should be taken into considerations. Suppose, one has to take sports event, he is suggested to receive the surgery after the sporting time. Generally, one should have his eyes relaxed for at least 6 months without any physical activities. If such possibility exists, it is a very ideal time to consult a doctor. During the first few weeks, eyes are very feeble, so do not do something that may cause harm on them, such as touching them with you hands or guarding them at night. Furthermore, some major activities should also be avoided the physical activities in particular. Still more, fatigue and eye guard should also be avoided.

Facts have it that there is no relation between the health of LASIK surgery and the season. So it is no need to worry about matters of this sort. It might be depended on the place where you are located, or some other factors, as humidity. Such as, in the southern state, the moisture in the air is relatively higher in winter than in summer. Of course, such influence comes from the fact that a wet environment is required after the surgery.

Lasik surgery, since its inception, is a mystery to most people, who always wonder why such a procedure is able to bring people back to their normal eyesight within just several minutes. Such mystery puts them in awe of it. Therefore, I think the question that how a lasik surgery process is needed to be introduced.

General speaking, lasik surgery, or say photorefractive keratectomy, is done on the cornea of the eye to correct abnormalities of vision, such as myopia, astigmatism and hyperopia. Lasik surgery provides people suffering those eyesight problems another choice to have a clear vision rather than wearing prescription eyeglasses or contact lenses.

There are four steps in the procedure. The first step is to consult the surgeon and have an over all examination of your eyes to check whether you are suitable to undergo such a procedure or not.

If you pass the examination, then you come to the second step: take a special medicine as a relaxant, and after the effects take place, you will asked to sit in a mobile chair. Then the surgeon will drop an anaesthetic solution into your eyes so as to make you escape from pain during the procedure. This step is referred as pre-stage

The third step is while-stage. When the anaesthetic is in effect, the surgeon begins to map the eyes by producing a blueprint for the eye through a computer, during which a format called wavefront technology will be applied. Then, the surgeon starts to reshape the cornea of each eye separately, which means while one eye is undergoing this procedure, the other one is protected by a shield. While one eye is kept open by a speculum, the surgeon cut a small hinged corneal flap on the outer layer of the eye with a high temperature laser called an intralaser. After that, the redundant corneal tissue, dictated by the mapping process earlier will be removed by another laser called excimer. Once it removed, the surgeon will apply very short bursts of light with the laser to reshape the cornea. At last, the flap will be placed back and the speculum removed. As such, the other eye will have the same procedure. The whole process of while-stage will just cost about 15 minutes.

The forth step is the post-stage. Do never make little of this stage, If you do not attach importance to it, serious result will possibly emerge. Therefore, after a surgery you’d better not use your eyes for a long time, driving is absolutely forbidden, enough rest should be guaranteed and a follow -up appointment should also be made to check on the healing of the eyes.

Maybe you will experience a short time of eye blur, do not worry, for this is a normal symptom and 95% people are able to see perfectly afterwards. If you are unfortunately not able to, go for your surgeon immediately. He or she will give you corresponding solution to help you see clearly.
