How well does one see after laser eye surgery?
It is realistic to expect vision correction comparable to what one is able to see with a person’s present glasses and/or contact lenses. Almost ninety-nine percent of all patients see well enough to pass a driver’s license test without any correction after laser eye surgery. We cannot, however, promise that an individual will never wear glasses again. While almost everyone has significant improvement in their uncorrected vision (what a person sees without any glasses or contacts), some patients may still need to wear a much milder prescription for reading or driving after the surgery.
