But do you know not everyone can be suitable for this surgery? So if you want to take Lasik eye surgery, please read ahead and pay attention to the following points:
No doubt Lasik eye surgery indeed helps some people with nearsightedness, farsightedness or astigmatism a lot as it can help them to get a good vision in several minutes and remove eyeglasses or contacts in their later life. But that does not mean everyone can benefit from this surgery. After we have the desire to take this surgery, the first step we should do is to visit our eye doctor. At our eye doctors, we can talk about our expected treating results and eye doctor will tell us if it is reasonable. Of course, if you want a perfect vision, the eye doctor will not perform the surgery for you. We should bear in mind that our age, general health and family history will also have some effects on the treating results. And if you can accept the expected results eye doctor tells you after analysis, the eye doctor can perform the surgery for you.
Besides talking about the expected treating results, eye doctor will also do some eye tests for you to see if your eye condition is suitable for Lasik eye surgery. As we may know, Lasik eyes surgery is done by a computer. The eye doctor will enter our information into computer based on our cornea shape, present eyesight together with considering the factors of our age, general health, family history, and lifestyle. Concerning the present eyesight, our eye doctor will check our present eyeglasses and ask if we are satisfied with the prescription strength. If it is, he will enter this prescription strength into computer.
Just as we mentioned before, eye doctor will not suggest all patients taking Lasik eye surgery. If our cornea is not the very condition needed for the surgery, taking the surgery will bring us damages to our eyes. And if our nearsightedness and farsightedness is too extreme, Lasik eye surgery is also not a wise choice. After the surgery, our eye condition can be improved a little and we also need to wear eyeglasses or contact lenses in lower description, whats the worse, the surgery may bring some risks to our eyes, so that eye doctor will not advise us to take the surgery.
