10 years later november 13 2006 6 00 pm webmd if you re considering laser surgery to correct your nearsightedness you can rest assured that the results will last long term. See if i am still happy i had it done. Lasik has been around since the 1990s. What sort of side effects and would i do it again.

I was just reading a story on. Most people who have this surgery. Experiences with laser eye surgery from ten years ago and asks. After having lasik done nearly 6 years ago bhansali 27 has nothing but praise for.

Another long term study of the stability of laser vision correction published in american journal of ophthalmology several years earlier found that among patients who underwent lasik surgery for the correction of up to 10 0 d of myopia approximately 6 percent chose to undergo a lasik enhancement within 10 years due to myopic regression. Patients whose refraction the eye refracts light entering it so as to form an image on the retina is not stable prior to lasik have an increased risk of needing enhancements. I went from wearing contacts glasses every day to having 20 15 vision. In fact complications from lasik eye surgery are extremely rare.

This was the case for alessandra bhansali. Laser assisted in situ keratomileusis lasik is a surgical procedure that can improve your vision.
