2. LASIK is safeLASIK first become popular in 1990’s and significant progress has been made since then. Because LASIK is a surgical procedure there are risks involved but they are minimal.
3. The recovery time for LASIK is very shortYour vision may be blurry immediately following LASIK and recovery time can take up to a couple months. The most common symptoms reported are dry eyes and sensitivity to light. However, more patients say the recovery time is minimal and that their vision began to improve right away.
