Lasik eye surgery is a big thing for many people; and most of them do not dare to ask all the relevant questions. The Lasik surgery is normally not discussed in details; so many people have an (actually) unnecessary fear. Here in this article those details are discussed.
One of the most common fear, both when it comes to the Lasik surgery and any operation in general is the fear of pain during and after the surgery. When a Lasik surgery is performed the eye is applied with numbing drops. The patient also receives a mild sedative so they can relax and feel comfortable. So even though you may feel a minor pressure to the eye, it is relatively pain free
Many people do also fear the actual operation where the laser is used to reshape the cornea to improve the sight. It can seem dangerous that the laser is used directly on the eye. And what if you look away? Will it hurt your eyes? There is nothing to worry about. The operation is only performed for about ten to fifteen seconds for each eye. And a sophisticated tracking system will make sure that the laser stops, if the eye is not in position.
Another common fear is the fear of “the scalpel”. All the eye surgeries use either a very small microkeratome blade or the laser itself to create the flap that is needed to perform the laser operation. So there is no reason the fear about a scalpel, because it is actually not used.
You hear horror stories every day about operations that went wrong, so it is just natural to wonder about the risks; especially the risk about going blind. But there have never been reported any cases of blindness due to a Lasik operation according to government statistics taken by the FDA.
Actually is the risk of a serious permanent complication less than one percent. And the risk of any permanent complication, including minor complications like as light halos, is less than 3 percent. It is extremely rare that the sight isn’t improved after a Lasik surgery.
If you are afraid about the fact that you are awake and you are having your eyes open during the surgery, then remember that you will have been given a mild sedative and your eyes will have been dripped with numbing drops.
If the thought of actually seeing the Lasik physician’s hand approaching your eye is bothersome, be comforted that the surgeon applies drops to the eye that blacks out the vision in that eye for ten to fifteen seconds, which is long enough for the procedure to be done for that eye.
