Question: Will my vision after lasik be perfect?
Will I be able to see clearly, without wearing eyeglasses, after I have LASIK? How much better will my vision be after I have lasik?
Answer: The quality of your vision after lasik eye surgery will depend on a number of factors. It is impossible to predict the outcome of your lasik experience, as every patient's eyes are unique. Your resulting vision will depend on several factors, including what your vision was like to begin with.

As vision seems to improve gradually over the first year after LASIK, your final corrected vision may not be known for several months. To ensure the best possible lasik results, be sure to attend all of your post-operative evaluations.
