Expectations

How well you see without glasses or contact lenses following laser vision correction eye surgery depends in part on your vision before the procedure. In most cases, you will be able to obtain the same vision correction with laser surgery as you had with glasses or contact lenses.

People with mild prescriptions generally have the best success in obtaining normal vision after eye surgery procedure procedure. People with more severe vision prescriptions may require glasses or contact lenses for some special situations such as night driving.

Success rates at the Cole Eye Institute are very high. Our surgeons have performed thousands of procedures and complication rates are less than 1 percent.
