Yes, it is.
Based upon the research into and clinical experience with LASIK, the rate of complications from LASIK eye surgery is estimated to be less than 1 percent, which makes it one of the safest elective surgical procedures available today.
Another fact patients find a lot of comfort in is that LASIK is one of the most studied elective procedures performed today:
From 1993-2005, more than 9,000 patients participated in FDA clinical trials testing LASIK safety and outcomes. Till date more than 7,000 peer-reviewed published studies confirm the procedure is both safe and effective as well as look into other important aspects of LASIK. This vast body of scientific evidence includes studies that help refine what makes a patient a good or bad candidate for the procedure.
LASIK uses advanced computer-driven laser technology to reshape the cornea with microscopic precision. The high degree of precision and accuracy afforded by this combination of technologies helps ensure patient safety.
Newer techniques and technologies help reduce the incidence of post operative effects such as dry eye, glare and halos.
To answer this well, the patient needs to have a thorough evaluation as part of a LASIK consultation with us.
