LASER VISION CORRECTION
Prerequisites
The ophthalmologists working at Eurolasik® have all been specifically trained and will only recommend state-of-the-art techniques. Laser vision correction is generally considered as safe and reliable but as a patient you must be aware of the fact that human tissues can heal in an inappropriate manner.
Your doctor might suggest an enhancement procedure and even then, your own results may not compare with published results. This may disappoint you. Your eye doctor will attempt to give you your best possible vision but cannot guarantee 100% success as there are individual factors involved.

Follow up
During the first year, it is advised that you do not start any medical treatment without consulting the ophthalmologist who performed laser vision correction on your eyes as you could alter the healing process hence modify the attempted correction.
Regular general eye checkups must be performed.
