Description

Over the past twenty-five years, LASIK has become one of the most commonly performed ocular procedures. As refractive surgery has become more popular in general, LASIK still remains the mainstay option in younger non-presbyopic populations. Whereas eye care professionals used to be more hesitant about recommending LASIK, the sentiment has largely shifted. But how safe is LASIK and other refractive surgeries? With it becoming so common, have we perhaps overlooked some of the shortcomings of LASIK? Or alternatively, is the boom in refractive surgery justified and actually an important part of the progression of ophthalmology? Dr. Guy Kezirian, Founder of the Refractive Surgery Alliance, joins the podcast.
