Are the results achieved from LASIK with IntraLase permanent?
The effects of LASIK with IntraLase are permanent. The effects of LASIK with IntraLase do not wear off. It is important to realize that a person’s eye can still change internally. That is why many surgeons recommend having the procedure done after the major eye changes have occurred in one’s life. For instance, LASIK with IntraLase is not recommended on children because their eyes change a great deal. If the procedure is performed after the age of 18, the chances of long-term stable correction are better. Patients should also note that while results are usually stable, they sometimes need to be modified by enhancement procedures – procedures performed after the initial one.
