While many people walk away from LASIK vision correction surgery with 20/20 vision or better, others are left with such side effects as glare, poor vision, dry eyes, and problems seeing at night, reports the Associated Press. The Food and Drug Administration estimates that about 5 percent of patients who get LASIK are unhappy with the results. The agency is holding a public hearing today to figure out if the warnings issued about the risks of LASIK are appropriate. And the FDA will be involved in a major study intended to determine how often such complications occur.
Still, after years of refinement, options for vision correction are better and more varied than in the past, U.S. News's Michelle Andrews reports. The U.S. News eye and vision center offers advice on taking care of your eyes.
