Laser
vision correction (LASIK) is becoming a frequently chosen alternative to spectacles
or contact lenses for vision correction. Considerable publicity surrounding
a recent study of patients treated with laser vision correction has many people
wondering if the procedure is right for them. In this study from Britain, an
increased risk of night glare was reported in a small group of patients treated
with LASIK. Several North American laser vision practitioners counter that the
small group of patients reported in this study were not treated with modern
equipment and technologies; they report a much lower rate of night glare problems
in their patients. Results with laser vision correction can vary depending on
the patient, equipment and technique as well as the surgeon.
