Did you have LASIK in the 90s/00s? Watch out for Keratoconus!

LASIK technology has come a long way. Back in the 90s and early 2000s, the scans used to assess patients for LASIK weren't as sophisticated. This means some people who seemed like good candidates for LASIK might have actually had undiagnosed Keratoconus, a condition that weakens the cornea. Over time, this could lead to vision problems like worsening nearsightedness, blurry vision, and increased glare.
The good news is that today's LASIK technology includes much more precise cornea scans. This helps doctors identify potential issues like Keratoconus beforehand and ensure LASIK is truly the right option.
If you had LASIK surgery before the mid-2000s and are experiencing any vision changes, it's important to get checked for Keratoconus. Early detection and treatment can help maintain good vision. #LASIK #EyeHealth #Keratoconus
