For LASIK, my advice is 2-3 checks with your eye clinic after you have done your LASIK. If you are happy with your vision and are still seeing clearly, you do not have to go back on an annual basis. If you feel that your eyesight is regressing, you can just visit an optician.

However, for ICL, you should do a follow-up every 1-2 years to check if the implant fits your eye.

Is it true that your colleagues in ophthalmology mostly wear contacts and glasses and not opt for Lasik?

There are still eye specialists wearing glasses. There are many specialists that we have done LASIK for but there are still many specialists that are wearing glasses. So I really think it's really a freedom whether you want that lifestyle choice. It is a cosmetic procedure like some people have done their double eyelids. So I think, when LASIK started back in the 1990s, doctors did not have the scanning equipment to determine which corneas were the safest.
