Statistics show that laser eye operations
produce excellent results: in 60% of patients remain defect to 0.25 diopters,
in 30% of patients maintained up to 1 diopter defect, 10% - slightly more than
1 diopter. The result is long-lasting operation - remains until old age. The
study also confirms low risk associated with these activities - about 1%, in
good clinics, it falls to the per mille. Possible complications include
postoperative infections, transient symptoms of "dry eye". The effect
of treatment largely depends on the ability of healing of the eye.
Regardless of the technique of execution,
the treatment itself usually lasts a short time (in minutes) and is performed
on an outpatient basis. People suffering from cataract, glaucoma, inflammatory
eye disease, with progressive visual defect, receiving steroids, with pacemakers,
pregnant and lactating women can’t be treated. The contraindication is also for
people younger than 21 years (no eye disease stabilization). Laser vision
correction procedures are not that expensive, for example EPI-LASIK costs three
thousand PLN.
