What are the results/Will my vision be 20/20 after LVC?
The results are quite remarkable. In the U.S. clinical trials that were reviewed during the approval process for laser correction of nearsightedness, 100% of the patients studied experienced improved uncorrected vision. Over 90% were returned to 20/40 sight or better — the “driving standard” in most states — and were able to enjoy life and perform most activities without glasses or contacts. With refinement in techniques since the studies, 95-98% of eyes with mild to moderate myopia who undergo PRK vision correction achieve 20/40 vision or better – enough to pass a driver’s exam without glasses with a single procedure. Two-thirds achieved 20/20 vision.
