Transcript of How Long Does LASIK Surgery Last?
LASIK eye surgery is used to
permanently reshape the cornea of the
eye to correct the deficiencies that
cause myopia, farsightedness, and
astigmatism.
● Your LASIK vision will last at least 10 years, likely
more, unless you have underlying eye issues
● Changes in your vision after LASIK are likely
caused by underlying eye disorders like Presbyopia
or Cataracts.
● Diabetes: Diabetics may encounter fluctuations in
blood sugar levels. This, in turn, can induce
changes in eyesight.
● Pregnancy: Hormonal
changes associated with
pregnancy can alter corneal
curvature and affect vision.
Care After Laser Eye Surgery
● Protective sunglasses should be worn
outside during at least the first week
following laser eye surgery.
● Limit your reading time for the first few
days after laser eye treatment.
● Do not touch or rub your eyes for one
month after laser vision correction.
