3 Reasons You Should Do Eye Laser Surgery
Charlie Cory
There are a number of reasons why you should do eye laser
surgery, but also many reasons why you shouldn't. This article
examines those reasons, in order that you can make an informed
decision if eye laser surgery (or Lasik) is right for you.
To start, we can discuss the conditions which are certainly
treatable by Lasik, and mean that you could or you should do eye
laser surgery.
Myopia or nearsightedness, hyperopia farsightedness or
astigmatism are all treatable by eye laser surgery. As long as
your vision has remained unchanged for at least two years, then
you would probably experience benefit from having the procedure
done.
There are some caveats to these though, and we can start with
your age.
If you are under 18 years old, then eye laser surgery is most
definitely not right for you. The FDA has not approved any laser
for the use of LASIK for people under 18, because in all
likelihood, your visions prescription will still be changing.
There is also the legal argument that minors may not be able to
sign a legal consent form.
There are also some other considerations.
You should be aware that eye laser surgery, like all other
surgical procedures, does come with some risks attached to it,
and your vision at the end may be less than perfect.
Furthermore, it is possible that you may encounter side effects
such as a 'glare' effect. If you are not willing to accept the
potential risks, then eye laser surgery is not right for you.
Once the Lasik procedure has been completed, there will be a
significant amount of time required to recover. In other words
results will not be immediate. You will also need to follow a
fairly strict regime of medications such as eye drops. If you
feel unable to do this, then eye laser surgery is not right for
you.
If you have any of the following conditions:-
* Diabetes * Auto immune diseases * If you are
Immunocompromised at all * Collagen vascular disease
Then you should not be considering to do eye laser surgery.
If you are taking any medications which might impair or prevent
your natural healing, then you should not be considering to do
eye laser surgery. The type of medications in question are
steroids or immunosuppressants.
There are a number of existing eye conditions which also mean
that you should not be considering to do eye laser surgery. Some
of the conditions in question are as follows:-
* Keratoconus or other corneal thinning disorder * Corneal
scarring * Glaucoma * Cataracts * A recent occurrence of ocular
herpes. * Retinal disease * Dry eye Any of these conditions
should preclude you from undertaking eye laser surgery.
I hope this article has been of use, and you leave better
informed about eye laser surgery than when you arrived. If you
have doubts or questions, then always refer to your Lasik
surgeon or doctor.
