Results & Complications
Before you decide to go for laser surgery, it is very important to look at the surgical results of an individual surgeon and also for the specific type of surgery and prescription. The statistical information is critical in your choice of a surgeon as one should not swayed by the global results of the company or clinic which will include the results of multiple surgeons, not an individual surgeon.
Things that you need to be careful when reading a graph or statistical analysis:
- The statistics are reliable only when the sample size is more than 100 patients or eyes.
- What do the results represent?
- Do the results show a high percentage of success rate?
- In particular for laser eye surgery, the analysis needs to show the results of patients after a year after surgery as a year will be a comprehensive period upon which analysis can be done.
In order to unterstand what the "driving standard" and "20/20 vision" stand for you can take a look in the following eye-test chart. Driving standard stands for 20/40.
