Urban myths about Lasik
Wednesday, December 15th, 2010There are many stories about complications after laser eye surgeries, such as eye injuries, impossibility to become pregnant, to look at the sun, to do sport etc. Dr. Boothe believes these are urban myths that are groundless and are not related to how Lasik is actually performed. The current methods of Lasik are very safe if the right approach is used. The treatment needs to be tailored to each patient’s eye condition, explains Boothe. Patients can return to ordinary active life within two or three days, or return to sports within one to two weeks. The Durability of the cornea is restored to normal condition in a couple of months.
It is also important to have a prophylactic laser treatment of dangerous retinal areas for nearsighted patient. The result of Lasik procedure is finally settled in three to six months and remains for life, in most cases.
Dr. William Boothe assures that ordinary ultraviolet radiation does not exert damaging influence on an operated eye: with the help of the Lasik technique, the surgeon preserves a corneal layer that serves as ultraviolet barrier. Thanks to the latest technologies it is possible to have the surgery at any time of the year.
Lasik surgery is aimed to restore patient’s vision in the best possible way. It is well known that the Boothe Laser Center, which is located in north of Dallas, offers state-of-the-art Lasik technology for over 10 years.
