RE: The Truth About Laser Eye Surgery (LASIK & LASEK)

in #science • 6 years ago

You talked about 95.4% patient satisfaction, does it mean the procedure achieved the desired result almost 95 times out of 100? If this is the case, I would say it's still a significant success especially if the eye issue is a chronic one.

Even though I would have loved to see more statistical information concerning the procedure, you did a good job with the write-up. Well done.

    Hello @gentleshaid

    Yes it is a significant record I must confess but at the same time questionable when you consider this FDA observation:

    Up to 46 percent of participants, who had no visual symptoms before surgery, reported at least one visual symptom at three months after surgery. Link

    But then the essence of this article is for people to ensure that they are adequately pre-screened to determine if they are suitable for the procedure. For instance, it can be very risky for a diabetic (who is liable to delay healing) to undergo the procedure.

    Thanks for reading.
