LASIK Safer than Contacts

A recent report indicates for the first time that LASIK is safer than wearing contact lenses over the course of a patient's lifetime.

William Mathers, M.D., professor of ophthalmology in the Oregon Health & Science University's School of Medicine, found a greater chance of suffering vision loss from contact lenses than from laser vision correction surgery (LASIK). His findings were published in a letter in the October 2006 issue of "Archives of Ophthalmology."

The Oregon researchers reviewed studies to gauge the long-term risks of refractive surgery and compared them with studies on contact wearers.

The study found that:

• Contact lens wearers face a 1 in 100 risk of developing a serious lens-related eye infection over 30 years of use
• Contact lens wearers also face a 1 in 2,000 chance of experiencing dramatic vision loss as a result
• The chances of LASIK surgery leading to significant vision loss is about 1 in 10,000

Mark Danzo, O.D., 20/20 Institute co-founder, interviews with Denver News 2 to discuss recent findings of LASIK safety vs. contact lenses.
