Success of Laser Vision Correction

Excimer laser vision correction is one of the most remarkable medical developments of this century.
First performed in 1985, it combines highly advanced laser and computer technology to make clear, normal vision a reality for most people. A million or more successful procedures have been performed throughout the world, and the procedure is widely accepted in many countries worldwide.

The success lies not only in the procedure, but in the type of laser that is used for the treatment. At Eyetech LASIK Clinic we are proud to use the Bausch & Lomb 217 C Excimer Laser for proven effective treatment of our patients. Eyetech LASIK Clinic's Medical Director, Des Kadambi, M.D. trusted the technology enough that he had no concerns when all his four daughters had the procedure done. Many Doctors, Optometrists, and Opticians have had Laser vision correction.

99.8% of our patients achieve lens-free driving ability (20/40) in a single treatment. Over 90% enjoy 20/20 vision or better.

Many surgeons quote the success rate as “99% 20/20 or better” based often on a small number of cases and most significantly on very low corrections with little or no astigmatism. The pie graph shown of Dr. Kadambi’s result is based on the analysis of 600 consecutive cases followed up by an optometrist in the United States. This included a large number of very high corrections (over -7.0) ,some with astigmatism as high as 5.0.
