What are the negatives of Lasic eye surgery?
Question:
Answers:
I had it four years ago & I love it, had no complications... but I know someone who had the same procedure & she has problems with "halos" at night. This is one of the more common complications, but most people can live with it, although it might affect your night driving ability. Also, anytime you make an incision, you risk infection during the healing period, which could cause blindness... or if you accidentally dislodge the cornea before it's completely healed, it could also cause permanent blindness. Both of these complications are rare, but you should be aware of it. Your eye doctor should discuss all the potential risks & complications with you so you can make an informed decision to go ahead or not. Good luck!
Edit to say: Actually, Tom... no, it doesn't wear off over time. The lasik procedure permanently reshapes the cornea. I had lasik to correct myopia/astigmatism and my vision is still 20/20, as it was when the surgery was finished. It's possible that I could develop presbyopia (age-related farsightedness) as I grow older, which isn't related to the lasik procedure. If it comes to that, I'll have to wear reading glasses, but I can deal with that.
It's irreversible
