What are the side effects of a laser vision correction?
I have been wearing glasses for 30 years. My left eye is ok, my right eye need correction of +1.5. Generally I am able to function without glasses for few weeks but it results in sensation of fatigue. When I close my left eye and look only through the right the vision seem hazy. Is there a way to correct my vision? Let me just add that I have been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s disease. I am seeing an endocrinologist regularly any my hormones are stable.

A qualifying examination is a basis of every laser vision correction. During the examination multiple tests are performed in order to determine any medical contraindications and the most suitable method of correction. As a matter of fact, elimination of the contraindications minimises the chance of occurrence of any side effects. Our laser can operate on wide range of refractive errors (-14 up to +6). The surgery results in a best possible correction – you can see as if you were wearing glasses, without actually having them on. It is possible to treat your refractive error by means of laser vision correction. Regarding your hypothyroidism, in order to be qualified for the surgery you have to have a medical statement from your endocrinologist that there are no contraindications for the surgery, that the hormones are indeed stable and that you are under constant medical supervision. Hypothyroidism substantially elongates the healing process.
