Truth or fallacy? Is laser vision correction permanent?
Laser vision correction is a surgical procedure where a computer-guided laser is used for permanent vision correction, that is, refractive error correction with the least number of complications compared to all operations on the human body.
Below are three facts you should know about laser vision correction:
- CORRECTION OF REFRACTIVE ERRORS IS PERMANENT – TA CHNO
Laser vision correction will permanently remove the problem and solve your dioptres, ie refractive errors (dioptres) that have once been corrected with a laser, will no longer return to the state before the operation.
- LASER VISION CORRECTION PREVENTS EYES AGING – A MISTAKE
As you age, your eyes lose the ability to clearly see objects (or letters) nearby and this is called presbyopia . As you get older, even if you have taken off your dioptre earlier, with the appearance of the first symptoms of presbyopia you will need reading glasses.
- SOME PATIENTS WILL NEED TREATMENT – TRUE
In the majority of cases, patients no longer wear glasses or contact lenses, but in a very small percentage there may be a recovery of a smaller part of the diopter due to further growth of the eye or a change in the curvature of the cornea, which may result in a part of your short-sightedness, far-sightedness or astigmatism reappearing and in that case re-treatment can be carried out.
