My 20/20 Institute LASIK Commitment Plan let me say goodbye to glasses and contacts just like that!
- Penny

Like any surgery, LASIK vision correction comes with its own set of risks and complications. The good news is that it is one of the safest surgeries you can have, as the complication rates are very low. And even better news is that the benefits are life-changing.

Studies indicate that the overall complication rate for LASIK is between one and five percent and serious complications fall below one percent. An important thought to keep in mind is that most complications that arise can be resolved fairly easily with medicines or with additional treatments.

Some of the risks that are possible include:

• Sensitivity to light
• Under- or over-correction
• Post-operative glare or haloes, which can be reduced with Custom LASIK
• Irregular astigmatism
• Poor night vision
• Flap complications, which can be reduced with bladeless LASIK
• Infection
• Loss of visual clarity

While the possibility of complications must be considered and weighed, the benefits of LASIK are incredible. Once you experience days and nights without glasses, contacts, solutions, cases along with the joy of seeing clearly 24/7, you, like most of our guests, may wish you would have done it sooner.

If freedom from the dependence on corrective lenses sounds interesting to you, please call or email the 20/20 Institute to schedule your free evaluation and find out if you are a candidate for LASIK today.
