Pictures of the LASIK Procedure
LASIK pictures can help patients understand the LASIK procedure
more fully by illustrating the steps in surgery; LASIK pictures can
also show the possible negative results of a LASIK surgery.
Doctors may use LASIK pictures to help a patient fully understand the
steps involved in a LASIK procedure—since LASIK pictures illustrate
exactly what is happening, patients will know what to expect. The importance
of LASIK pictures in explaining surgery is heightened by the fact that
patients are conscious during LASIK. The LASIK pictures will give the
patient a clear mental image of what occurs during surgery; viewing
LASIK pictures ahead of time can help the patient relax, reducing risks
such as overcorrection. Some LASIK pictures show the visible scarring
that can occur during a LASIK procedure. Patients who view LASIK pictures
that include the results of failed procedures can make an informed choice.
For instance, when LASIK pictures illustrate problems a shifted flap,
necrosis, or other injuries, patients better understand the risks involved.
LASIK pictures also show the role of the healing process, illustrating
the consequences of poor postoperative care.
