There has been some suggestion that patients who suffer from anxiety or depression prior to LASIK surgery are not good candidates for the procedure. While the risk of complications from the surgery is very predictable, but when they occur there are patients who seem to become depressed, following the deterioration of vision due to an unexpected complication. This is a serious enough specially when the potential LASIK patient is suffering from a severe depression without treatment.
- What seems to be discomfort for everybody, is pain for them.
- What seems to be great vision for everybody, is only okay for them.
- What seems to be a 15 minutes surgery for everybody, is more than an hour for them.
So now you get it? In most cases is nothing to do with the performance or the outcomes of the procedure, it is something that goes beyond that, called (depression), without mentioning the serious consequences that can occur if something goes wrong.
That is why doctors who perform LASIK have difficulty agreeing on whether patients who appear to develop depression following LASIK surgery were actually depressed before the procedure. In any case, some providers are now saying that because of the high rate of depression following serious LASIK complications, potential candidates for LASIK should be screened for depression and anxiety prior to receiving the operation, in order to prevent.
While the demand of this particular eye surgery is still alive and expanding all over the world, there is a minority of individuals who are not quite convinced whether the procedure is safe or not. Not to mention those who turn against this procedure as a result of an unfortunate experience. But over the time I have noticed that while many sources are providing information about potential LASIK complications that could appear after the procedure, such as; night vision problems, dry eyes, infection among many others, there is nobody who documents information about LASIK complications that may occur while the procedure is being performed. Well, before I explain a little more about this concept we need to clarify something important here! LASIK complications can be manifested in different aspects, which are; clinical and technological. Having said that, when a technological malfunction appears does not necessarily mean that it will be reflected directly in the clinical outcomes, however, technological complications are not exempt from the entire procedure which has been a reality for many practitioners. Considering that most of the time these malfunctions are manifested while the surgeon is performing, obviously it can not be taken lightly, that is why all the entities that offer this service are more than likely very rigorous with proper maintenance, although, sometimes malfunctions can go “beyond that”, as we shall see in the video below.
Yes, Free LASIK consultation could be done from your home now! Let me explain; the interest about LASIK vision correction or I should say about LASIK eye surgery still alive by many potential candidates in the U.S, however, the economy circumstances that we are facing today, it may show the opposite to the eyes of practitioners, but the true is that these challenging times are adding no more than salt and pepper to the natural stage of anxiety or fear that many patients could experience previously to the surgery, although the interest still there!
LASIK New York is one of the terms that it have been raising the flag on the Internet lately, even though the economy remains with a low profile, the term has been sought for more than 22000 times in the last 30 days, which indicates that LASIK service providers seem to have a high demand these days. But we should not be surprised because after all New York is one of the most competitive state on the LASIK industry.
We all know that refractive surgery (LASIK) has become very competitive lately on the Internet, however, there are always all kind of speculations about LASIK surgery subjects, specially about medical insurance plan that covers this procedure, in fact no too long ago some of our patients start asking questions about “The Blue Cross LASIK Plan”, something that took us by surprise because until that moment we knew that there was no plan that actually covered LASIK procedures. But I guess the words run very fast on the Internet community because every time that we ask to these patients from where they are getting this information, each one of them point Internet as a reference channel of it. And so, we started our own research to find out more about this “Blue Cross LASIK plan”, specially because (we) as a LASIK services provider would like to be on top of everything, specially if there are new opportunities to expand our reference.
