Lasik remains an excellent option for laser vision correction.
The excellent safety record and rapid recovery times of modern laser refractive surgery means that the majority of patients undergo surgery for both eyes at the same time.
This has the advantage of according the shortest possible recovery time, and removes the need for the intervening period (where one eye is operated on, and the other is not operated on yet).
Visual recovery is rapid and certainly adequate for normal activities of daily living.
The risk of serious complications after routine refractive surgery is low, and hence most patients choose the option of having both eyes operated on at the same time.
The recovery time and infection rates are independent of whether surgery is performed on one eye, or both eyes at the same time.
Most importantly, you should discuss your concerns with your surgeon, and decide on whether sequential, or bilateral surgery is most suitable for YOU!
Best of luck in your upcoming surgery!
