LASER EYE SURGERY IN BRISBANE EXPLAINED
What you need to know about laser eye surgery
Over 30 million people have had laser eye surgery and achieved independence from glasses and contact lenses since 1990.4Laser Eye Surgery Hub. 2020. Laser Eye Surgery Risks And Success Rates. UK. https://www.lasereyesurgeryhub.co.uk/laser-eye-surgery-risks-success-rates/An average of 95.4% of patients were satisfied with their outcome after LASIK surgery. After decades of “clinical studies and technological innovation, LASIK surgery should be considered among the most successful elective procedures. LASIK surgery compares more favourably with other elective surgical procedures in terms of generally higher satisfaction rates.5 Solomon KD, Fernández de Castro LE, Sandoval HP, Biber JM, Groat B, Neff KD, Ying MS, French JW, Donnenfeld ED, Lindstrom RL; Joint LASIK Study Task Force.
