Lasik Surgery Cures Maximum Eye Problems

In a new study by the National Eye Institute Refractive Error Quality of Life (RQL) Instrument, it is found that though the vast majority of patients who has undergone through a Lasik surgery, experience no long-term complications of the surgery, a small percentage find themselves with permanent visual defects that are difficult to treat and hard to live with.

The problems which they suffer includes starbursting or halos emitting from light sources. Symptoms tend to diminish if the size of the pupil is reduced. Some believe that a large pupil before Lasik means poor night vision after Lasik, however several studies have shown no predictable correlation between preoperative pupil size and postoperative complications.

Results showed that correlations between larger pupil diameter and higher RQL satisfaction scores (0.12 and 0.19, respectively) were not statistically significant, however if refractive error remained, patients reported significantly more worry, less satisfaction , less clear vision, and worse far vision. Improvement in residual refractive error provided more satisfactory results and a higher perception of quality of life.
