People have been attempting to correct their vision for hundreds of years. In fact, the ancient Chinese put sandbags on their eyes to treat nearsightedness. Years later, in 1895, a Dutch ophthalmologist performed the first successful refractive surgery, correcting a 19-year-old boy’s astigmatism. Today, many safer, more effective procedures are available. Learn more about the history of the refractive surgery industry and its recent breakthroughs.

It is instead meant to drastically reduce one’s reliance on glasses or contact lenses. Patients should also be aware that with or without surgery, vision naturally changes over time.

LASIK is considered very safe and Dr. Tylock uses the most current technology available today. However, there are still some risks involved, including side effects such as temporary dry eyes, corneal abrasion, overcorrection or undercorrection. Prior to surgery, the doctor will explain to you the side effects and complications for which you are at risk. But it is still important to do your homework.
