A new study finds cause for concern regarding the longterm well being of patients that have opted for Lasik eye surgery to correct their vision. The laser surgery effectively flattens the cornea which fixes vision immediately, but it effects the cells’ ability to migrate around the eye, and by 60-70 years old that could spell disaster. I can already hear the class action lawyers sharpening their pencils. Here’s more information.
Despite LASIK surgery’s growing popularity, I feel the question at hand regarding possible negative effects in coming years needs to be investigated further. I feel only time and more investigation of the migration of cells will make LASIK surgery something all patients will want to have performed.
