LASIK eye surgery is bad because many people still have to wear contacts or glasses after surgery, vision regresses over time, and night glare is a bad side effect.
Intro: facts about LASIK (what it is, how it works) and statistics
Point 1: people still have to wear contacts or glasses after surgery- this is an extra expense that the person thought they were getting out of. One of the main points of getting surgery was to that they wouldn't have to rely on glasses or contacts. Now they have paid thousands of dollars for surgery and still have to wear them
Positives: vision usually improves and people need weaker prescriptions.
Point 2: vision may regress over time- meaning that after surgery, depending on age, a person's vision may continue to worsen. LASIK does not cure or help regression. This may lead to either wearing contacts or glasses again, or having additional surgeries called enhancements which may or may not help.
Positives: there are additional surgeries and procedures called enhancements that may help.
Point 3: Night glare- is a dangerous, but common side effect of LASIK. Halos and starbursts form when looking at lights. The lights glare together. This is very common during night driving making it hard to read signs or see other things in the road.
Conclusion: summarize information about LASIK. Candidates should consider other options.
this looks very organized!
