LASIK Results

LASIK has provided excellent vision results for many millions of people. Although LASIK does not always provide perfect results, if you are a good candidate for LASIK there is an excellent chance you could achieve 20/20 or better vision after LASIK.

Published data with the WaveLight Excimer Laser for nearsighted patients shows 75% of patients are 20/15 and 24% are 20/20. 1% will be 20/25 to 20/24 and may need an enhancement. It is important to have realistic expectations of LASIK results, and understand you are not guaranteed 20/20 vision after LASIK. If you have a strong prescription, you may be a little less likely to get 20/20 results from LASIK. People with a lower prescription are a little more likely to achieve 20/20 vision after LASIK, even without wearing contact lenses or glasses.

If you do get a less than ideal result from LASIK, an enhancement procedure may be able to fine tune your vision and possibly bring it up to 20/20. To get a better idea of what results you can realistically expect from LASIK, you should schedule a complimentary consultation with our board-certified ophthalmologist Dr. Stephen Wilmarth. He will examine your eyes and vision history, and help you decide if LASIK can achieve the result you expect.
