Is LASIK permanent?
A lot of people have been asking about the longevity of the effect of LASIK surgery. The answer to the question above is yes, the effect of LASIK surgery is permanent. While a second procedure might be necessary for some patients due to overcorrection or undercorrection, your initial LASIK surgery corrects your vision to the best possible outcome.
However, there are other factors that are beyond the technology of LASIK which could require some patients to have another LASIK surgery later in their lives. Age is the biggest factor here. As people age, the body undergoes changes, including the condition of the eyes.
It is possible for some patients to need a second procedure later on in their lives due to the changes that took place in their bodies. It is important to understand that this is a case to case basis and doesn’t mean that would be true for everyone.
