Is laser eye surgery worth it?

Depends: While laser eye surgery is an alternative to glasses or contacts, this is a personal question. I perform laser eye surgery every week and frequently hear that it was the best decision that the patient ever made. Often ranked with child birth as far as gratification. On the other hand, there are patients that are happy with their contacts and glasses, choosing not to have the procedure.

Maybe: I assume you are referring to Laser vision correction or LASIK. There are many other kinds of eye laser. If you have uncorrected nearsightedness and/or astigmatism and are tired of wearing glasses or contact lenses then usually LVC can decrease or eliminate your need for these appliances in safe and effective manner. Everything depends on your surgeon and his or her experience and judgement.
