subject: Six Myths Regarding Laser Eye Surgery And Breaking Them [print this page] Myth no. 1: Eyesight shouldnt be corrected with surgery
Truth: Myopia, far-sight, astigmatism and presbyopia can all be corrected with eye surgery. In practice, all eyesight problems which need to use eyeglasses or contact lenses can be fixed with eye surgery (in Finnish: silmlaserleikkaus). Correcting myopia in Tallinn at KSA Silmkeskus is less complicated and more affordable than anywhere in Finland. The treatment will cost only 120 per month when paying in part or with one-time payment starting from 2 490 .
Myth no. 2: Eye surgery is a bit like plastic surgery, unnecessary luxury
Truth: If using eyeglasses or contact lenses feels uncomfortable or disturbing, eye surgery is a good choice. Eyeglasses can interfere in hobbies, they frost in cold weather and they get wet in the rain. An eye surgery in Tallinn really is everyday luxury because if you are found suitable for eye surgery in a free preliminary inspection, KSA Silmkeskus will pay your trip to Tallinn and the fares from harbor to KSA Silmkeskus and back.
Myth no. 3: It is better to wait if your eyesight might change than to get an unnecessary surgery
Truth: It is preferable that the eyesight has stayed the same for a while before the operation. So the operation may not necessarily stop the change of eyesight which comes with age. All the possible obstacles are always surveyed in the preliminary inspection. KSA Silmkeskus arranges these preliminary inspections in Mannerheimintie, Helsinki. Registration to the free preliminary inspection can be done by filling a form here: http://www.silmalaserleikkaus.fi/laseitta?gclid=CO3BuN2B8bICFcWXcAodFzcAZA
Myth no. 4: Eye surgery does not pay off in the long run
Truth: The rate of success in eye surgery is very high, near 100 per cent. If there is something left to fix after the operation, a repair operation is normally made after two to three years as a warranty. Right after the operation there might be a decline in the patients night vision, but it should improve during the first weeks or months after the operation. In KSA Silmkeskus, the post operation inspections can be done for the first three years and they are free of charge. Also if need be, a focusing operation is free of charge up to five years after the first operation.
Myth no. 5: Eye surgery holds a huge amount of risks
Truth: It is true that the eyes are quite vulnerable and just the thought of cutting them might scare you. But the thing is that every operation performed by a surgeon holds its own risks and the main concern is to keep the risks as minimum as possible. In KSA Silmkeskus the fear of eye surgery is useless, because you are in the safe hands of a professional staff before and after the operation. Long term experience over 17 000 successful operations guarantees that your eyes will be treated successfully in KSA Silmkeskus. Also theISO 9001 quality control standard has been in use at KSA Silmkeskus since 2006 and it ensures the high quality of the treatment in every single procedure.
Myth no. 6: Eye surgery is so expensive that an average person cannot afford it
Truth: Eye surgery operations are performed by private clinics and the cost comes to the customer as a whole. Correcting a refracting error in one eye can cost up to one and a half thousand euro but in KSA Silmkeskus the cost of a two-eye-operation begins from 2 490 . Also it is good to keep in mind that an eye surgery operation is a long term investment and on the other hand eyeglasses or contact lenses can cost a fortune in the long run. Many of the patients think that by eye surgery they have saved money in the long term and they can enjoy life without eyeglasses.
