While LASIK significantly reduces the need for glasses or contact lenses, the results can vary based on individual factors such as the age at which you undergo the procedure and your specific vision issues. Most of our patients from Logan Square and throughout Chicagoland enjoy 20/20 vision or better after LASIK, but some may still require glasses for activities like reading or driving at night as they age. We offer a comprehensive consultation at our downtown Chicago location to discuss your specific needs, lifestyle demands, and expected outcomes.
The ideal age for LASIK is typically between 20 and 40 years old. This range ensures that your eyes have likely stopped changing and you’re young enough to enjoy many years of reduced dependency on glasses or contacts. However, age should not be the only factor in deciding whether to proceed with LASIK. At Kraff Eye Institute, we assess the overall health of your eyes and consider all aspects of your lifestyle during your consultation to determine if LASIK is right for you.
Most side effects from LASIK are minor and temporary. Common side effects include dry eyes, which can be managed with eye drops, and temporary visual disturbances such as glare or halos around lights, particularly at night. These symptoms will typically resolve within a few weeks to a month after surgery. At Kraff Eye Institute, we use the latest technology and techniques to minimize side effects and maximize comfort and outcomes for our patients. We provide detailed post-operative care instructions and are conveniently located in downtown Chicago, making it easy for Logan Square residents to return for follow-up care as needed.
