Whether it’s ease, comfort, practicality or style, you probably have thought of a lasik plus vision instead of donning eyeglasses or contact lens. For one, wearing a lasik eye is becoming a hot trend to people who have vision problems like myopia, hyperopia or astigmatism. Thanks to advertising, lasik practitioners need not worry that this procedure is usually not covered by health insurance.

The acronym for laser assisted in situ keratomileusis, LASIK is designed to create a flap in the cornea with a microkeratome. The surgery requires careful removal of corneal tissue through laser, eventually reshaping the cornea and improving its focusing power. Compared to other refractive surgeries like PRK or Photorefractive Keratectomy, a lasik eye treatment patient can resume working only a day after the operation. PRK requires 3-5 days of rest.

Not everyone though can benefit from this technology. Certain restrictions and precautions should be heeded before opting for the procedure. You are an unlikely candidate for a lasik plus vision if you’re pregnant or nursing because of certain hormonal changes proven to change the shape of the eye for the time being, as well as if you’re under medication that could expends healing of wounds. If you have refractive instability manifested by change in your glasses or contact lens prescription for the past year, a lasik eye vision is possibly not for you. Other restrictions are age, career, lifestyle, and budget.

In choosing laser eye surgeons, it’s not enough to rely on costs or availability. The first surgeon you consulted with might not be the most suitable. Do your research as your procedure’s success varies depending on the level of experience of your surgeon. Not even the so-called money back guarantee should convince you. In fact, you should be wary of such advertisement as no real guarantee is tagged on medicine.

A lasik plus vision may be the absolute answer for your eye problem but it is not enough to rely on technology alone for its success. As our sense of sight occupies a significant portion of our system, it’s highly suggested you consider all your eye correction options, evaluate your capability to undergo the procedure and run a thorough research on your particular operation.
