What is the national average (% wise) for patient's needing "touch ups" after Lasik?

Asked By:Elise69661 in Randolph, NJ

Is there anything specific I should ask my potential doctor before allowing them to preform Lasik on me? Is the procedure mostly done by the computer/laser and just 'guided' by the doctor?

Jay Bansal, MD says:

It is unlikely that a flashlight can change the results of the LASIK procedure or cause damage to the retina. However, if you are concerned about the exposure from the light, I would get a dilated eye exam so the doctor can examine your retina.
