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.
