However, remember that as you age or in low light conditions, you may need to wear prescription glasses.<\/p>\n<p>The vast majority of people report high satisfaction after vision correction using refractive surgery methods, including FEMTO LASIK, LASIK, PRK, etc. However, it should be remembered that long-term results of refractive surgery treatment are often not available or have not been well researched and documented. One reason is that people are generally satisfied after surgery, so they do not feel the need to repeat tests, and follow-up data is not collected in every and each case. At the same time, the LASIK procedure has been refined over time &#8211; the techniques and technology are constantly changing. This makes it difficult to draw conclusions from the transmitted data.<\/p>\n<p>Please note that on a post-operative check-up, vision is measured under optimal testing conditions. Vision in low light (e.g. at dusk or fog time) may not be as good as in published reports and as experienced by other patients who have been treated with refractive surgery (FEMTO LASIK, LASIK, PRK). <em><strong>Over time, your refraction may slowly worsen as you age, and your vision may not be as good as it was immediately after the surgery.<\/strong><\/em> This doesn&#8217;t seem like a big problem, but the exact degree of change is sometimes impossible to predict.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #ff655c;\">Read on to learn more about what to consider as you decide whether this surgery is right for you<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"agni-content-block\"><section class=\"wpb-content-wrapper\"><p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/what-does-lasik-eye-surgery-involve\/\"><u>What does LASIK eye surgery involve?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/are-your-eyes-healthy\/\"><u>Are your eyes healthy?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/are-you-healthy\/\"><u>Are you healthy?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/is-your-vision-stable\/\"><u>Is your vision stable?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/can-you-afford-the-surgery\/\"><u>Can you afford the surgery?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/do-you-understand-possible-side-effects-and-complications\/\"><u>Do you understand possible side effects and complications?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/lasik-versus-reading-glasses\/\"><u>LASIK versus reading glasses.<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/refractive-surgery-and-contact-lenses\/\"><u>Refractive surgery and contact lenses.<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/what-are-your-expectations-for-lasik\/\"><u>What are your expectations for LASIK?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/how-do-you-choose-an-eye-surgeon\/\"><u>How do you choose an eye surgeon?<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/the-final-decision\/\"><u>The final decision.<\/u><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><a style=\"color: #ff655c; text-size: 15px; line-height: normal;\" href=\"https:\/\/drmika.ch\/contact\/\">Take care of your eyes \u2013<br \/>\nmake an appointment today<\/a><\/h4>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/section>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/6&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_empty_space][vc_column_text]Most people who undergo LASIK surgery will have good or excellent vision in most situations for many years or decades after surgery.
