Myth: I am afraid that I will go blind

Myth:  I am afraid that I will go blind…

Facts:

  • Every act has a risk, no one can guarantee the complete absence of adverse outcomes. Going out on an evening walk can also put your personal well being at risk. The issue is really of how high the risk is, and what the percentage of adverse outcomes are. And what are the risks of the alternatives-spectacles and contact lenses.
  • In a recent study of Femto-LASIK complications at New Vision Laser Centers, we were shocked to find that in the treatment of more than 1500 consecutive eyes, we had a 0 (zero ) complication rate.
  • Not a single eye treated with Femto-LASIK at New Vision Laser Centers has lost 2 or more lines of Best Corrected Vision
  • In the last 5 years, we have not had a single case of an eye infection post LASIK. In contrast studies show that 1 in 300 patients who wear extended wear contact lenses suffer from a serious eye infection.
  • Complications can and will happen though. However, the issue is whether the doctor treating you has the experience of tackling them, whether the institution you are being treated at has the philosophy of patient first, everything else later. You won’t find us wanting at New Vision Laser Centers.

Experienced Doctors, Latest Technology-These change the odds dramatically. LASIK has never been safer. Going Blind, forget it. Our standards are much higher.
