- Laserowa korekcja wzroku jest bezpieczna i nie powoduje utraty widzenia, ponieważ laser działa tylko na powierzchniową warstwę rogówki.
- Temporary side effects, such as dry eye syndrome or a halo effect around the lights, may occur after treatment.
- Complications are rare and usually easily treated under the supervision of an ophthalmologist.
- You will need to undergo a detailed qualification before the procedure and follow your doctor's eye care instructions after the procedure.
Millions of laser vision correction procedures have been performed worldwide to date, and to date there has been no reported case of vision loss due to a failed procedure. This is due to the fact that the laser actually works on a very shallow layer of the eye. However, as with any treatment, unexpected complications or non-specific body reactions can occur.
Most of these can be treated without problems while under the supervision of the patient's eye doctor. The most common complications after laser vision correction include, for example, dry eye syndrome, the halo effect around light sources and other „visual sensations“ that can interfere with everyday life.
During the qualification appointment, when you pass it and there is a joint selection (with the doctor) of the appropriate and individually selected treatment method, you should ask about everything that concerns you so that you definitely feel more at ease. Any doubts you may have should always be resolved and thoroughly explained during the qualifying visit.
Lekarz okulista przeprowadzający kwalifikację do zabiegu, po zapoznaniu się z formularzem wypełnianym przez Ciebie przed wejściem do gabinetu, a także po wykonaniu wszystkich potrzebnych badań i pomiarów, przedstawi przewidywane efekty zabiegu oraz możliwe do wystąpienia po nim powikłania.
Is it possible to lose your sight after laser vision correction?
Wielu pacjentów zadaje sobie pytanie: "czy po laser vision correction można stracić wzrok?" i "laserowa korekcja wzroku czy można stracić wzrok?. Odpowiedź brzmi: nie. Jak dotąd, nie odnotowano przypadków utraty wzroku spowodowanej przez sam zabieg. Technologia używana do laserowej korekcji wzroku, w tym LASIK i PRK, jest bardzo precyzyjna i bezpieczna. Lasery stosowane w tych procedurach działają wyłącznie na powierzchniową warstwę rogówki, co minimalizuje ryzyko poważnych komplikacji.
After laser vision correction surgery, patients may experience some temporary side effects, which usually resolve within a few weeks to a few months. It is important to strictly follow the doctor's instructions regarding post-operative eye care, the use of moisturising drops and the avoidance of potential irritants.
With state-of-the-art technology and experienced specialists, patients can expect the highest quality of care and safety. During follow-up visits, the doctor monitors the healing process of the eye and, if necessary, introduces appropriate treatment to minimise the risk of complications.
