2004年3月,美国密歇根州杰克逊城------2003年末的一项对1995年至1999年间接受LASIK手术的267名患者进行的临床调查显示了对LASIK手术的肯定态度,以及其副作用逐步降低的趋势。
在当年接受手术后,73%的患者报告说看到了与术前同等的或较少的眩光。但是2003年,有63%的患者说他们没有看到眩光,大多数人表示这一现象在术后立刻就出现了,但是随着时间的推移都会完全消失。
手术后,52%的人说他们感觉到同样或较少的晕眩,但在2003年,62%的患者不再有这样的感觉。手术后,79%的患者反映看到了同样或较少的重影,2003年,89%的人已经没有再看到重影。
90%的患者表示他们已经完全无需使用眼镜或隐形眼镜了。91%的人说LASIK手术提升了他们的生活质量,而且他们会向别人推荐这个手术。

90 Percent of LASIK Patients Surveyed Remain Glasses-Free After Eight Years
JACKSON, Mich., March 2004 — A late-2003 survey related to an FDA clinical trial including 267 LASIK patients taken from 1995 to 1999 shows positive attitudes toward the LASIK procedure and a reduction in side effects over time.
Directly after their surgery, 73 percent of the patients reported seeing the same or less glare as before the procedure. But in 2003 63 percent said they saw no glare, with most saying the glare had occurred immediately after surgery but had diminished over time.
After surgery, 52 percent said they saw the same or less halo, but in 2003 62 percent showed no halos. After surgery, 79 percent said they saw the same or less ghost images, but in 2003 89 percent saw no ghost images.
Ninety percent said they were free from full-time use of eyeglasses or contact lenses, and 91 percent said LASIK had improved their quality of life and they would recommend it to others.
Faculty members at Emory University Medical School conducted the survey.
