LASIK and Contact Lens Study
A Comparison of Vision Correction Methods
We are surveying 2,000 patients who use contact lenses or LASIK for vision correction, to compare satisfaction and complication rates. Participants will be re-surveyed each year for three years to assess their on-going satisfaction with their vision correction choice and to document any problems they may be having.
Impact: This study will provide valuable information about the relative safety profiles of these popular vision correction choices.
