Is LASIK Safe?
Yes—LASIK is one of the safest and most studied elective procedures in modern medicine. Since its approval in the U.S. in the late 1990s, LASIK has undergone significant advancements in both technique and technology, leading to:
- Faster recovery times
- Fewer complications
- Higher patient satisfaction
- A broader range of patients now eligible for treatment
At The LASIK Vision Institute, we only recommend LASIK when we are confident it is the right option for you. Our patient-first approach prioritizes transparency and safety at every step.

Frequently Asked Questions About LASIK Safety
Not everyone is a candidate for LASIK. We screen for factors like age, eye health, and medical history to ensure the highest safety standards.
LASIK carries minimal risks, such as temporary dry eyes or visual disturbances, which typically resolve within weeks. Serious complications, like infection, are rare (0.98% rate) due to our sterile protocols.
LASIK is virtually painless. Numbing drops ensure comfort during the 10-15 minute procedure. Mild discomfort post-surgery usually subsides within hours.
