It is natural to have many questions about laser eye surgery and if you are considering this as a next step, you might be spending a lot of time on Google. At BoydVision in Vancouver, we know it is important to feel safe and trust the laser eye center of your choice. That’s why before the surgery, you’ll get to meet Dr. Boyd and ask any questions you may have. In the meantime, you may find answers to a few FAQs about laser eye surgery in this post.
Can laser eye surgery affect your eye colour?
No⏤your eyes will be the same colour before and after laser eye surgery. Laser eye surgery deals exclusively with the cornea, which is the clear area at the front of the eye.
Is laser eye surgery cosmetic?
Yes, laser eye surgery is considered elective and cosmetic surgery. Vision problems can be improved through other external means like contacts and glasses, and laser eye surgery eliminates the need for these tools.
Has anyone gone blind from laser eye surgery?
Given the fact that this surgery deals with your eyes, this is a valid concern. However, if this is what’s holding you back from laser eye surgery, there’s no reason to be concerned as the likelihood is very small. Need some grounds to back this up?
