What Your LASIK Results Could Be

If you are looking into LASIK in Denver, it’s important to bear in mind the success rates of the LASIK Provider you are considering. It’s equally important to consider what impacts those LASIK results will have on your life. These considerations should all go into your decision-making process of whether or not laser eye surgery is the right decision for your specific needs.

Most LASIK Providers do not choose to report their LASIK success rates to the public. However, recent studies have shown that approximately 99% of LASIK patients in America achieve at least 20/40 vision, and over 90% attain 20/20 vision or better. Interestingly, while not everyone achieves 20/20 vision after LASIK, over 96% of patients report general satisfaction with their results after recovery from the procedure. However, national averages do not reflect every patient’s experience, nor do they touch on this one key factor: which provider you choose for your LASIK procedure can play a decisive role in the vision outcomes you can expect.

At 20/20 Institute, we strive to ensure every patient receives the highest standard of care and the best possible results. If you’re considering LASIK, we welcome the opportunity to meet with you free of both cost and obligation for a comprehensive LASIK candidacy evaluation.

LASIK Results at 20/20 Institute

The experienced LASIK doctors at 20/20 Institute are proud of our exceptional success rate: 99.67% of our patients have achieved 20/20 vision or better. This impressive statistic is a direct result of our expertise and conservative candidacy criteria.

Because we are an independent, doctor-owned-and-operated practice, we are not bound by corporate mandates or one-size-fits-all approaches. This enables us to tailor our procedures to each person’s unique needs, offering treatments that make the most sense for each individual. It also allows us to prioritize patient safety and satisfaction above high procedure volumes.

We believe it’s important to offer a FREE LASIK consultation. This enables our doctors to perform extensive diagnostic testing and then employ rigorous candidacy standards for patient selection. If vision correction surgery is deemed to be an acceptable alternative to eyeglasses and contact lenses, the correct procedure options will be discussed—no matter if that’s LASIK or a LASIK alternative. Our conservative approach to candidacy ensures that we recommend LASIK only when it is a suitable option for you.

We invite you to join the thousands of satisfied patients who have entrusted their vision to 20/20 Institute by scheduling your initial LASIK consultation today. During this consultation, we encourage you to ask any questions you may have and express all of your concerns, enabling us to provide straightforward answers, and empowering you to make an informed decision about what is best for your specific needs.

Your Appropriate Candidacy for LASIK Is Our First Concern

Candidacy for LASIK involves a comprehensive evaluation of various factors. These include:

• Age and Vision Stability: Candidates should be at least 18 years old and have had a stable eye prescription for at least 12 months.
• Eye Health: Candidates should have healthy eyes, and they must be free from conditions like severe dry eyes, uncontrolled glaucoma, cataracts, and significant eye infections.
• Prescription Range: LASIK lasers can correct various degrees of myopia and hyperopia. Most Excimer Lasers are FDA-approved from +6.00 to -12.00, and up to 6 Diopters of astigmatism. However, pushing treatments to the outer limits of this range can make LASIK outcomes less reliable over the short and long term.
• Corneal Thickness and Shape: Adequate corneal thickness is necessary for LASIK. Candidates must also be free of conditions like keratoconus that affect corneal shape and integrity.
• Pupil Size: Larger pupils can increase the risk of postoperative side effects such as halos or glare, especially in low-light conditions.
• General Health Conditions: Certain systemic health conditions may affect the healing process and could be a contraindication for LASIK. Medications that impact wound healing or cause dry eyes may also affect candidacy.

Having realistic expectations about the outcomes of LASIK is also an important aspect of LASIK candidacy. To manage your expectations, here are some things you should know:

• Visual results can be different from patient to patient and provider to provider. Everyone’s vision imperfections are unique, as are how we heal. Thus, the results one person achieves through LASIK surgery might not be the same for someone else.
• Not everyone will be “glasses-free” forever. All eyes mature with age. Eventually, you might need either reading glasses or another procedure to deal with changes in your distance or near vision.
• Not everyone can achieve 20/20 vision. Our Denver LASIK doctors will talk to you about your current vision imperfections to determine whether 20/20 vision is a realistic goal for you.
• Side Effects may Exist during the healing process. However, it is not uncommon for patients to experience some degree of dry eye after the procedure. For the vast majority of patients, this is a temporary condition (usually 30-60 days).
• Re-treatment, enhancement, or refinement procedures might be necessary.

Does LASIK Provide ‘Freedom’ from Glasses and Contact Lenses?

For most patients, the answer to that question is yes. However, achieving 20/20 vision with LASIK surgery does not guarantee complete independence from glasses or contact lenses. For some patients, glasses for certain visual functions may be required. In addition, as we age, glasses for reading are almost always a requirement.

For most patients, LASIK can offer relief from the recurring costs of updating eyeglass prescriptions and daily frustrations of contacts—like cleaning routines, discomfort, and the inconvenience of lost lenses—but prescription eyewear may still be needed for some patients after surgery. During your complimentary LASIK consultation at one of our three Denver-area offices, we will listen to your concerns, evaluate your candidacy, and work to ensure your expectations are in line with what can and cannot be promised through vision correction surgery.
