Benefits
When considering laser vision correction, as with
any procedure, the patient and the Baylor Vision
physician work together to evaluate the relative
risks and benefits for each individual patient.
A successful outcome decreases an individual’s
dependency on glasses or contact lenses, and in
some cases, allows you to function without the
need for any glasses or contact lenses for many
years. This permits many patients to more enjoyably
participate in a variety of activities at work,
in the home, and during their leisure time. When
our patients discuss their individual experiences
following laser vision correction, they frequently
describe a general improvement in their overall
quality of life, for example, as being able to
see the alarm clock in the morning without glasses.
Risks
As with all procedures, laser vision correction
is not without risks and side effects. Your eye
could receive too little or too much correction.
In some cases, this can be improved by performing
an additional treatment that is usually done 3
months later.
Laser vision correction, like all surgical procedures,
can result in a number of other complications,
most of which are rare. These include infection,
scarring, healing problems or other unexpected
results. Any of these, if they are significant,
may require the use of glasses or contact lenses
for good vision. In rare instances, as with any
surgical procedure on the eye, vision can be permanently
reduced as a result of a complication; fortunately,
these occurrences with laser vision correction
are very rare, generally 1% or less. It is important,
however, to realize that even though the risks
are low, there is no such thing as risk-free,
guaranteed surgery for any condition.
