Laser Eye Surgery Risks - Consider Night Time Contact Lenses Instead Making the decision to get laser eye surgery is not something that should be taken lightly. Although many may be satisfied with the results, there are laser eye surgery risks that are important to consider.A Consumer Reports health survey published on Bartlesvillelive.com suggested that around half experienced one of the frequently reported laser eye surgery risks including blurry vision and light sensitivity.
Laser eye surgery can be a risky procedure and it seems that not all high street clinics are being honest about its cost and dangers. Research from Which? earlier this year found that many high street clinics were giving not only unsatisfactory advice about the risks of laser eye surgery but also were charging more than they advertised. No consultants were noted as "good" by the panel of experts. It also found that one clinician claimed that "things cannot go wrong". Martyn Hocking, editor of Which? magazine, said: "People need to be aware of the potentially serious and long-term risks, so that they can have realistic expectations and commit to the procedure with open eyes." A new treatment called orthokeratology or 'Ortho k' could provide the answer to people who want to avoid the potential risks of laser eye surgery. Worn at night, the lenses provide natural vision upon awaking without the need for any invasive surgery and the eyes will return to normal if the user doesn't want to wear them, which is something that laser surgery cannot promise.
