LASIK has been around for some time already but still there are folks who might still be in doubt of its safety and effectiveness. LASIK stands for Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis and is a procedure that permanently changes the shape of the cornea, the clear covering of the front of the eye, using an excimer laser. The procedure is intended to reduce a person’s dependency on glasses and contact lenses.
Fortunately for interested patients, a decade-long study shows that LASIK surgery is a safe and effective procedure. This claim has already been presented at the Academy of Opthalmology’s 2006 Joint Meeting.
PRNewsWire has more details:
Researchers who examined patients a decade after undergoing LASIK and PRK treatments say both procedures provide stable, long term improvement for nearsightedness.
"Our study provides a clear answer to those who doubt LASIK's reliability, showing that both LASIK and PRK are effective for correcting myopia with no long term complications," said lead investigator Jorge L. Alio, MD, PhD, chair of ophthalmology at the Universidad Miguel Hernandez in Alicante, Spain and medical director of VISSUM.
The study, which included 100 eyes with myopia or myopic astigmatism corrected by LASIK and 100 eyes corrected by PRK surgery, measured how well the patients maintained the ability to focus, as well as any changes in visual distortion 10 years after surgery.
Now, all of us can now sit back and relax as we give our full trust to LASIK’s reliability through a reputable eye surgeon. These findings would really help people make appropriate decisions and make that step to make their lives a lot better.
