3 Reasons You Should Do Eye Laser Surgery
By Charlie Cory
There are a number of reasons why you should do eye laser surgery,
but also many reasons why you shouldn't. This article examines
those reasons, in order that you can make an informed decision
if eye laser surgery (or Lasik) is right for you.
To start, we can discuss the conditions which are certainly
treatable by Lasik, and mean that you could or you should do eye
laser surgery.
Myopia or nearsightedness, hyperopia farsightedness or astigmatism
are all treatable by eye laser surgery. As long as your vision has
remained unchanged for at least two years, then you would probably
experience benefit from having the procedure done.
There are some caveats to these though, and we can start with your
age.
If you are under 18 years old, then eye laser surgery is most
definitely not right for you. The FDA has not approved any laser
for the use of LASIK for people under 18, because in all likelihood,
your visions prescription will still be changing. There is also the
legal argument that minors may not be able to sign a legal consent
form.
There are also some other considerations.
You should be aware that eye laser surgery, like all other
surgical procedures, does come with some risks attached to it,
and your vision at the end may be less than perfect. Furthermore,
it is possible that you may encounter side effects such as a
'glare' effect. If you are not willing to accept the potential
risks, then eye laser surgery is not right for you.
Once the Lasik procedure has been completed, there will be a
significant amount of time required to recover. In other words
results will not be immediate. You will also need to follow a
fairly strict regime of medications such as eye drops. If you
feel unable to do this, then eye laser surgery is not right for
you.
If you have any of the following conditions:-
•
Diabetes
•
Auto immune diseases
•
If you are Immunocompromised at all
•
Collagen vascular disease
Then you should not be considering to do eye laser surgery.
If you are taking any medications which might impair or prevent
your natural healing, then you should not be considering to do
eye laser surgery. The type of medications in question are steroids
or immunosuppressants.
There are a number of existing eye conditions which also mean that
you should not be considering to do eye laser surgery. Some of the
conditions in question are as follows:-
•
Keratoconus or other corneal thinning disorder
•
Corneal scarring
•
Glaucoma
•
Cataracts
•
A recent occurrence of ocular herpes.
•
Retinal disease
•
Dry eye
Any of these conditions should preclude you from undertaking eye
laser surgery.
I hope this article has been of use, and you leave better informed
about eye laser surgery than when you arrived. If you have doubts or
questions, then always refer to your Lasik surgeon or doctor.
