If laser vision correction is performed on a stabilized defect, taking into account all the individual anatomical features of the patient’s eye, the defect should be eliminated once and for…
What interests patients most when considering the possibility of undergoing laser vision correction?
Firstly, whether laser eye surgery is painful.
Secondly, whether laser eye surgery is safe.
Thirdly, whether laser eye surgery is truly effective.
The answers to these three key questions are simultaneously the three most important arguments in favor of undergoing laser vision correction.
Short-sightedness and farsightedness (hyperopia) are the most common vision defects. Both nearsighted and farsighted people are able to accurately describe what problems they face on a daily basis and name the ailments that are associated with their refractive defects. Difficulties arise when we ask them to describe the causes of the defect, because such a description requires knowledge of the anatomy of the eye and how it functions.
A patient’s age is one of the variables that affect whether a patient can undergo laser vision correction. Why?
The terms nearsightedness and farsightedness evoke apt associations in most patients and do not cause concern for their health. But when the name astigmatism is uttered, patients are sometimes bewildered – is it some kind of eye disease? Something serious? A cause for concern?
Laser vision correction is a one-time expense that eliminates all other costs associated with glasses and contact lenses for the rest of your life
Diagnosis before laser vision correction is very precise. However, not every patient can choose the method of correction. Why?
A study conducted in early 2020, showed that as many as 90% of Poles aged 18-65 have various eye and vision problems, and more than 60% have a diagnosed visual impairment. 69% of compatriots admit that the increased number of hours spent in front of screens (working and studying remotely!) has worsened the quality of their vision.
Even a slight visual defect can make life miserable, limit sports activities or be a contraindication to certain professions.
Side effects of many drugs also include visual disturbances, higher risk of developing cataracts or permanent damage to the optic nerve. Rarely, however, do we pick out just those related to vision from the long list of side effects – we are more concerned about the effects of drugs on the heart, kidneys or intestines.
In diagnosing dry eye syndrome, questionnaires are invaluable for estimating the extent of the condition and the number of symptoms in patients who experience this very widespread ocular surface disorder.
Modern ophthalmic surgery offers many possibilities for vision correction. The type of procedure, specific surgical method, or particular intraocular lens implants are always selected considering the specifics of the vision defect, anatomical conditions of the eye, the patient’s general health, and their expectations regarding visual acuity after treatment.
