Is LASIK surgery a permanent solution?
Lasik surgery is usually performed after the age of 18 when the refractive error has stabilized. Usually as long as the eye power remains stable, effects of LASIK will remain constant.
Does LASIK surgery hurt?
No. Other than some sensation during the preparation phase, when the vacuum ring is attached, LASIK is painless.
Does LASIK cause dry eyes?
