Is lasik operation for eye vision correction effective and safe?

Yes: Yes. For appropriate candidates, lasik is an effective and safe operation. See data on pubmed or www.Fda.Gov. Lasik is one of the most common and safest elective surgeries.

LASIK Safety: There is no surgical procedure without risks including lasik. The risk of going blind from lasik is estimated at one in one million. The risk of going blind from wearing contact lenses is about on in 40, 000. I believe that lasik is much safer than wearing contact lenses.
