Ever wondered why Opthalmologists ( Eye Surgeons) are always seen wearing glasses? They are the ones performing lasik everyday, yet they continue to wear glasses themselves! Ironic isn't it?
I see many top opthalmologists many times a year on a social basis and yet all of them sport unsightly glasses!
So what could be their reasons for not having laser eye surgery performed on their own eyes?
* Are they worried that they will get complications from laser eye surgery?
* Or is the cost of lasik too high for them - unlikely as they must be minting money from performing this procedure?
* Or is the 0.1% risk that the eyesight might be worse off, too high for them?
* They are too lazy to get eye surgery done.
* Or, is that they do not trust anyone else's hand
* Os is that that they have seen many complications and side- effects from lasik?
Here is what one professor says:-
Well, whether or not to get Lasik depends on many factors. You have to consider both the potential benefits and risks of the surgery. As ophthalmologists, we depend a lot on our stereotactic vision as we often work under the microscope. Lasik may weaken our three-dimensional perception. So we have to take this into consideration. Also there are other side effects and risks to Lasik.
Yet, I know of many friends and foes and colleagues who have had laser eye surgery done and they all are very happy that they have had it done. Many of them report enhanced self esteem, confidence and obviously, getting rid of having spectacles as the reason's why they had LASIK done on their eyes.
If you want to understand more about the anatomy of the eye or learn about the procedure itself, I have collected some excellent patient videos for laser eye surgery video, go through them. As long as you take proper care after laser eye surgery, you should be fine. Always consult your surgeon or GP, before going in for an invasive procedure.
