A safety-first guide for patients rejected for LASIK due to thin cornea, suspicious topography, dry eye or keratoconus risk.

Choosing between glasses and LASIK is not only about convenience today. It is also about long-term suitability, lifestyle, eye health, and realistic expectations. This guide explains how glasses and LASIK differ over time and how to think about the decision more clearly.

LASIK changes the shape of the cornea to correct vision, but that does not mean every patient will have the same long-term outcome forever. This guide explains what “permanent” really means, why some people still need glasses later, and how suitability affects results.
