How long has lasik eye surgery been around?

Q. Also, since there is a flap made what happens to your eyes in say 30 or 40 years. Will there be side effects because the eye has been cut into?

A. It has been around just over 10 years in the US and Canada, but has been around for 20 years in Russia and England.

There have been no long term side effects registered yet.

Aside from those who had to have it redone because the myopia came back....or had to go back to glasses because the surgery couldn't be done a second time for different reasons.

Original Question

Is it important to get a specific surgeon for LASIK eye surgery?

Q. I heard LASIK was safe for the most part. If I choose the wrong doctor though, do I get a bigger chance of "seeing spots" or going blind?

A. Hi Damien, the surgeon’s experience is important, because like all things, the more you do, the better you become. Laser vision correction is no exception. A surgeon’s specialized training and surgical experience are all very important. Look for a clinic that performs a lot of surgeries, because more procedures means more experience – and more experience means better results. Try to also find a centre that specializes in LASIK.

It’s also worth noting that it’s virtually impossible to go blind from LASIK.

Original Question

Its been four week since my lasik eye surgery can i drink beer?

Q. Should I wait or is it okay? Any effects to my lasik?

A. Hi Mario – We recommend that people drink alcohol in moderation following their LASIK procedures. Drinking excessively can lead to dehydration, which can dry out your eyes and slow down the healing process.
