What if laser eye surgery doesn’t work?
Vision correction surgery is a decision only you can make. You want to be sure that you’re making the right choice and that the results will be as good as possible.
We offer lens replacement surgery. For the majority of our patients, this is a permanent solution to their vision problems. 1Sibylla Richter-Mueksch MD a 1 et al.

Most people are surprised to learn that even if they have a successful vision correction surgery, there’s still a chance that they may not get perfect vision. If you are unhappy with the results of the surgery that does not mean that your surgery didn’t work – it simply means adjustments might be needed.
What if you’re not happy with the results of your vision correction?
We can do laser eye surgery enhancements to correct any remaining errors after your initial vision correction surgery. In just a few minutes, our laser eye surgeons can fix any problems so you can enjoy the best vision possible without glasses and contact lenses.2Probst, The Optimization of LASIK, International Ophthalmology Clinics 48 p 9-16, Winter 2008.
What might happen if you delay or don’t have vision correction?
You may be wondering if delaying vision correction causes any problems. We all know that our vision starts to worsen as we age. But many people don’t know that there are options for improving vision beyond just wearing glasses or contacts.
Most people only consider getting vision correction surgery when their vision has worsened. But by then, they could have a higher risk of complications.
There is no rush to have vision correction if your eyes are healthy. You should know, however, that vision correction is a safe and effective way1 to improve your vision, and you don’t have to wait until your vision has gotten really bad. We offer free consultations so you can understand your options and get started on the path to better vision.
The most important thing if you’re not happy with the results of your vision correction is to let your eye surgeon know. We are dedicated to finding a solution for every patient.
