How do patient satisfaction rates of LASIK and contact lenses compare?

< Back to FAQ

More people are satisfied with their vision 3 years after LASIK than those wearing contact lenses. Although dry eyes do commonly occur in the months following LASIK, dry eye symptoms did not increase over time as compared with increased symptoms such as eye infections, abrasions, and ulcers that occur with contact lens use.
