Eye Care and Eye Wear in New York

LASIK eye surgery is a good option for many people. In this type of procedure, the shape of the eye is improved which improves your overall vision. For many people, it has allowed for improvements to 20/20 vision. In fact, the American Academy of Ophthalmology states that as many as 90 percent of patients do reach that 20/20 level of quality after having LASIKS performed.

Keeping this in mind, it is also important to note that there can be other problems associated with the eye's health that LASIK does not address and can worsen. For example, many people who had dry eye symptoms prior to the procedure have increased symptoms afterwards. Other problems that some people face include shadows, halos, difficulty seeing at night, reduced contrast in their vision and glare.

Most people who have LASIK do state they are happy with the improvement to their vision. However, before you consider having this procedure done, do talk to your local New York optometrist about the risk factors associated with it and then make an educated decision if it is for you.
