Separate LASIK facts from myths about blindness, pain, dry eye, permanence, glasses, corneal flaps, presbyopia, cataract and long-term safety.

LASIK permanently reshapes the cornea, but vision can still change from regression, presbyopia, cataract, dry eye or myopia progression.

Vision can change after LASIK because of regression, dry eye, presbyopia, cataract or rare corneal ectasia. Learn the causes and treatment options.

Learn what to expect after SMILE eye surgery, including first-day vision, dry eye, recovery time, activity restrictions, halos and urgent warning signs.

Learn what to expect after LASIK, including first-day vision, dry eye, recovery time, activity restrictions, flap care and symptoms requiring urgent review.

Learn how Femto-LASIK uses a femtosecond laser to create a corneal flap, how quickly vision recovers and its benefits, risks and suitability.

Learn how TransPRK works, what “no-touch” laser surgery means, recovery time, pain, haze risk and how it compares with PRK, LASIK and SMILE.

Learn why LASIK may be unsafe with keratoconus, thin corneas, unstable prescriptions, severe dry eye, pregnancy, cataract or uncontrolled disease.

Learn who is suitable for LASIK, including age, prescription stability, corneal thickness, dry eye, health conditions and reasons you may not qualify.

Compare LASIK, SMILE and PRK by recovery, dry eye, corneal strength, risks, prescription range and lifestyle to find the safest option for your eyes.
