LASIK called safest, most successful elective procedure in the world

The latest peer-reviewed meta-analysis of worldwide scientific literature for LASIK shows the satisfaction rate for the procedure is up to 98% and nearly 90% of patients achieve 20/20 vision.

“Is LASIK the best refractive procedure? The jury is in, and the answer is yes. LASIK is the safest, most successful and most studied elective procedure in the world. It has the highest patient satisfaction rate, and it has continually improved over the last two decades. The best is LASIK, with our goal of continued improvement, and our goal is that 100% of patients that have LASIK have the same or better vision that they did prior to surgery,” Eric D. Donnenfeld, MD, said at Refractive Surgery Subspecialty Day preceding the American Academy of Ophthalmology meeting.

Latest technology medical equipment in combination with thorough pre-operational examination enables laser eye surgery abroad to be one of the safest procedures for international patients. LASIK is an eye operation that is heavily driven by medical equipment and analysed patient’s data. Combined with medical expertise and professional staff, LASIK can delivery extremely successful results in a matter of minutes.

LASIK and laser eye surgery abroad in general can be one of the best options for medical tourism. That said, identifying the right clinic and right surgeon are critical elements of the selection process, as laser eye surgery abroad needs to be combined with safety and appropriate experience. LASIK has been characterised as the safest and most successful elective procedure in the world, but patients are always advised to carry out thorough research before selecting an option abroad.
