LASIK surgeons don't get LASIK

You might be surprised by the results of a survey of LASIK surgeons about whether or not they would undergo the surgery themselves.

Vision Quality

Why LASIK vision quality is worse

With effective optical zones post-LASIK that are much smaller than a typical patient's dark-adapted pupil size, you should expect worse vision and aberrations that glasses and soft contacts cannot correct.

Flawed Optics

LASIK means a downgrade in vision quality even in outcomes deemed a "success" by the surgeon due to higher order aberrations stemming from the surgery's small optical zone. You may be able to read the 20/20 line, but visual acuity as tested by the 163 year old Snellen chart and vision quality as tested by a modern wavefront aberrometer are two very different things.

Corneal Neuropathic Pain
