Everyone wants to see well after LASIK surgery. LASIK candidates and surgeons alike are interested in determining which surgical tools and techniques provide the best visual outcomes. There's been much discussion regarding whether patients see better after an "all-laser" LASIK experience, where the corneal flap is created with an IntraLase femtosecond (FS) laser, or when they have a traditional LASIK procedure where the flap is created with a bladed, or "mechanical," microkeratome. According to a recent Mayo Clinic College of Medicine study, there's no significant difference. |

You want to get rid of glasses because it doesn't fit with your lifestyle. Maybe you're a commercial pilot and have developed thin corneas as well as myopia. Can you have LASEK to save your career?
All aviation professionals would argue that, LASEK vs. LASIK debates aside, you need to fully heal before you can fly. Also, if you're hoping for 20/20 vision, aim higher: Pilots need 20/16 or 20/10 vision. Fortunately, with custom LASIK, LASEK and the new Wavefront-guided lasers, you have a good chance of achieving 20/16 or even 20/10 vision. |

LASIK risks include a variety of complications, and generally resemble the risks taken with any surgery. Many LASIK risks are directly related to the skill and experience of the operating surgeon, including LASIK risks such as under- or over-treatment, vision loss, and complications like haloes or poor night vision. |

LASIK eye surgery is growing more popular on a daily basis as the cost for improving your eyesight through laser vision correction surgery continues to drop. However many people are still not sure how much LASIK costs and exactly what procedures are covered by your payments. As you will soon see the cost for LASIK is dependant on a variety of different factors to include the state and city that you currently reside or seek treatment in and how extensive your surgery becomes or is required. Perhaps the single biggest cost could be associated with which LASIK specialist you choose to perform the vision correction surgery on your eyes.
