Why wait for Lasik?

Sandy Feldman, M.D., M.S. answers: Should I consider Lasek surgery?

I am tired of wearing glasses and contacts, but my vision is very bad, and I don't know if lasek surgery will work for me.  How do I know if I'm a good candidate for this procedure?

LASIK surgery is the most common elective surgery performed and helps one reduce dependence on glasses or contact lenses. With visual results showing 98% of people achieving 20/20 or better vision after the procedure (for individuals with mild to moderate amounts of nearsightedness with or without astigmatism) this is a procedure which one should consider.

Why wait? The procedure has never been safer and more effective than it is now!
