Common LASIK Myths

Myth #1: “LASIK surgery is painful.”

It can be scary to think about something touching your eyes, much less a laser! But the truth is that LASIK surgery is relatively painless. You receive anesthetic drops to numb the surface of your eye. Afterwards, patients typically feel a gritty sensation a few hours following surgery, but that goes away quickly. Typically the only medication needed is ibuprofen, and full recovery is expected within 24 hours of surgery.

    Myth #2: “LASIK is too new to understand its longterm impact.”

    LASIK surgery has been performed since the 1980s, so doctors and patients alike have had decades to understand the potential impacts of the surgery on all types of patients. Technology has improved since the 1980s, and the screening process is helpful for ruling out any patients that might not be a good fit for LASIK. After 40 years, LASIK has become a reliable and quick procedure that has helped millions.

      Myth #3: “Only the rich can afford LASIK surgery.”

      It’s true that LASIK surgery is an investment. When LASIK surgery first entered mainstream eye care, it was common for it to cost more than $8,000 per eye. Since then, costs have lowered significantly.

      Adding up the annual cost of glasses and contacts, not to mention the frustration of dealing with them day-in and day-out, can make LASIK surgery worthwhile for many people. Consider financing the surgery with your tax refund or saving up for it over a couple of years. However, be wary of providers offering LASIK for a price that sounds too good to be true. Chances are, to offer such low prices, they are cutting corners that might make your surgery less safe.
