LASIK eye surgery is one of the most often performed and most successful procedures done in the world today. The most important thing is to go to a reputable doctor who will only perform the procedure if it is likely to be successful in your case. With this caveat, LASIK is almost always successful. The results with modern lasers is that virtually all patients achieve a minimum of 20/40 vision which is what most States in the USA require to drive without corrective lenses. In addition, well...

Many people are more recently asking is LASIK or PRK a better option? The answer is that it depends. Clearly LASIK has been more popular by both eye surgeons and patients over the last 15 years where I would estimate over 80% of all vision correction is done by LASIK. The reasons for this are the relatively painless procedure followed by a very quick recovery and minimal post operative problems. Compare this with PRK where the same excimer laser is used but rather than treating under a flap... Read Full Story
If you ask 10 different doctors you will probably get 5 different answers to that question. Therefore keep in mind that this answer is personal and based on 15 years experience in LASIK technology, working as a LASIK consultant, and from one of the only doctors who ever developed a laser specifically for LASIK and had it FDA approved and then used it to treat thousands of patients (The Dishler Excimer Laser).

It is extremely unlikely for the flap to move several months after LASIK surgery, but it is possible to dislodge it with severe trauma. In the last 15 years and about 50,000 LASIK cases we have only seen a small handful of cases with late flap dislocation. These were almost always the result of severe trauma such as a tree branch directly contacting the cornea, and would have caused some degree of injury. Fortunately, we have been able to repair these cases successfully with little or not... Read Full Story
