LASIK, Is It Safe?

While I was doing some sort of a survey about LASIK technology a month ago, a fellow blogger commented on my post and said that he has gone through the procedure and he said that it is indeed one of the best decisions he has ever done in his life. Imagine from almost being blind without his eyeglasses, he could see 20/20 (or better ) after the procedure. Amazing! Now he enjoys life better as there were certain simple things that he couldn't do before but he could do now.

Some of you may wonder whether the procedure is safe or not. It is indeed a very safe procedure. As what Steven Schallhorn, M.D , a retired US Navy and leader of the research for Lasik for the DOD siad, “The DOD and NASA have validated the fact that today’s LASIK exceeds all established standards of safety and effectiveness." Several military personel of DOD has undergone the procedure and in 100 of these personnel 95% of them achieved 20/20 vision or better. On the other hand nval aviators who have had Lasik Srugery were also asked if they recommend this procedure to other naval aviators and 100% of them said, they would.

So, if you're in the verge of deciding whether or not to get LASIK, then better browse through their sight for more LASIK information.
