Worldwide, 95.4% of LASIK patients are very satisfied with their results after surgery. The highly reliable analysis performed by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive surgery (ASCRS), considers the patient’s overall satisfaction rather than their visual outcome.

reviewed 2915 articles. Of these, 19 studies were found to match the rigorous quality criteria and address patient satisfaction specifically.

The studies assessed a total of 2199 patients worldwide, and found myopic and hyperopic patients to show similar satisfaction rates.

It is no wonder that laser vision correction is now the world’s number-one elective procedure.
