Is laser eye surgery permanent?

At Focus Eye Clinic, the results of laser eye surgery are usually stable for life. The correction of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism is permanent because the shape of the cornea is permanently altered.

Nevertheless, natural changes such as age-related farsightedness (presbyopia) or progressive myopia can affect vision later in life. In some cases, post-treatment (enhancement) is possible to refine the result.

Regular eye checkups at a specialized eye clinic help to detect changes in vision early.

95% of patients never need glasses again.

5% of patients evolve to a deviation -0.5 to +0.5 after 5 to 10 years.
