The short answer is yes. LASIK surgeons not only perform this life-changing surgery for others but LASIK surgeons have LASIK themselves because they understand firsthand the benefits and advancements in the technology.

Mark Wevill has this to say about his LASIK experience, “having laser eye surgery gave me a new insight into the amazing benefits of this life changing surgery. I’ve seen thousands of my patients raving about how wonderful LASIK is, but it was incredible to experience this for myself. It was one of the best decisions I’ve made.”

LASIK has stood the test of time for more than 20 years because laser eye surgery is so safe, and the results are amazing. Patients who had LASIK 20 years ago are now sending their children to Mark Wevill for laser eye surgery. Mark also did LASIK for his wife and sister over 20 years ago and has treated many of his friends. And LASIK is even more safe and effective now than 20 years ago.

This may be Mark Wevill’s story, but what about other laser eye surgeons? Over 60% of LASIK surgeons have LASIK surgery themselves. This is about five times more common than the general population. And more than 90% of them recommend the surgery to their families according to a study published in the highly regarded Journal of Cataract and Refractive Surgery. Their decision to undergo LASIK reflects their confidence in the procedure’s safety and effectiveness.

So, if you’re considering LASIK, rest assured that the eye surgeons who perform it often have LASIK themselves. Their expertise, combined with personal experience, adds an extra layer of reassurance for anyone considering having this remarkable procedure.
