Realistic Expectations:
The decision to have Lasik vision correction is an important one that ultimately, only you can make. It is important that you have realistic expectations and that your decision is based on facts, not hopes or misconceptions. The goal of your vision correction procedure is to reduce your dependence on corrective lenses. LASIK does not always create 20/20 or even 20/40 vision. It cannot correct a condition known as presbyopia, or aging of the eye. This normally occurs around age 40 and may require the use of reading glasses. If you are over 40 and farsighted LASIK can improve your distance vision and slightly improve your near vision. However, if you are nearsighted and have your distance vision improved with LASIK you may need reading glasses after the procedure. One way to enable you to see well at distance and near is to perform monovision. This method of correction is not for everyone, so it is important that your doctor examines you to see if you would benefit from monovision. Your doctor will provide you with additional information that will allow you to make an informed decision. |
