Laser Eye Surgery, also known as LASIK (laser-assisted in situ keratomileusis), is a surgical procedure used to correct vision problems, including cross eyes. During the procedure, a laser is used to reshape the cornea, the clear front part of the eye, to improve vision and correct any misalignment of the eyes.
A good candidate for Laser Eye Surgery for cross eyes is someone who is in good overall health, has a stable prescription for at least a year, and has realistic expectations for the outcome of the surgery. It is recommended to consult with an ophthalmologist to determine if you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
As with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and side effects associated with Laser Eye Surgery for cross eyes. These can include dry eyes, fluctuating vision, undercorrection or overcorrection of the eyes, and infection. It is important to discuss these risks with your ophthalmologist before deciding to undergo the surgery.
The recovery time for Laser Eye Surgery for cross eyes varies from person to person, but most individuals can resume their normal activities within a few days to a week after the procedure. It is important to follow your doctor's instructions for post-operative care to ensure a smooth recovery.
In most cases, the results of Laser Eye Surgery for cross eyes are permanent. However, some individuals may experience regression or a return of their previous vision problems over time. If this occurs, a follow-up procedure may be necessary. It is important to attend regular check-ups with your ophthalmologist to monitor the long-term results of the surgery.
