Those who opt for laser surgery to correct their vision should be aware that it may not be a permanent procedure, an article has highlighted.
Jo Cantrill told the Daily Mail that the beneficial effects of her laser surgery deteriorated over a six-month period and was told by her optician she needed to wear glasses or
contact lenses again.
She pointed out she had paid £2,500 for the procedure and had not been advised her eyes could revert to their original condition.
Laser surgery uses ultra-violet to reshape the cornea and around 100,000 people in the UK opt for it every year, according to the Mail.
"However, opticians are reporting a large increase in patients needing glasses or contact lenses following the surgery," it continued.
Some people may decide that the cost of laser treatment for a few months of benefit may be too high and prefer to stick with their
contact lenses.
