subject: Benefits And Drawbacks Of Laser Eye Surgery [print this page]


Laser eye surgery is not for everyone, and one needs to conduct some research before diving into this procedure.

O.K. Here we go! On the one side of things, there's the Pro side of the discussion;

The principal point in favor of laser eye surgery is that in some cases the procedure can lead to the individual's decreased reliance on glasses to see things around them.

The second positive point to this procedure is that it is commonly performed today. The number of surgeons offering this procedure has increased over the years, and as a result their are many laser eye doctors out there to choose from.

The 3rd supporting point is going to be is that because of the evolution of this procedure and the fact that so many doctors are using it, the cost of having laser eye surgery done has come way down making it more affordable.

The 4th point in support of is that the amount of time to get better afterwords is shorter than it used to be, which means a quick recovery for the person going under the surgeon's knife .

And last (but not necessarily least) we've got the 5th point in support of having the surgery which is most people are just flat out happy to be rid of the glasses.

The Con side, against this procedure is as follows:

The first point in contra for laser eye surgery will be the fact that the procedure does not work for every one that goes through it. The laser eye surgeon will discuss the risks of having the surgery when you meet with them.

The second point against is going to be that while this is a common procedure, you must still perform due diligence when selecting your surgeon. Just like anything else, there are good ones and bad ones out there.

A 3rd significant point against is that the procedure still is very expensive and insurance typically does not cover the surgery because it is not critical.

4th point in contra is going to be how long it takes to recover. The patient still has to rest and recover from the eye procedure.

And 5th and last, but not necessarily the least, consideration against is that while most people want to lose the need to use their glasses, there are risks that accompany this surgery. Do your homework and research the procedure and be aware of the risks .

Now both sides have been heard from and the Pros and Cons are stacked up, in favor and against.

Finally then, the "bottom line" here could be stated as: laser eye surgery can help some correct their vision while not being entirely beneficial for others.

Laser eye surgery is apparently both good AND bad! It will be left up to you, the reader to decide whether this eye procedure is right for you.
