Post Lasik Follow-Up

Posted by HELiX

A day after the first surgery of my life, I had to go for a check-up to review the results of my surgery. The results vary from person to person. Generally, 95% of lasik patients will obtain a eyesight better than or equal to 6/12.

Turned out to be pretty good actually.

A staff tested my eyes and found both to be 6/4.2.

Now, generally, a 6/6 eyesight is accepted to be perfect vision. As your vision gets worse, the second number increases. A 6/12 eyesight is the bare minimum needed to drive legally.

And somehow, I managed a 6/4.2 in both eyes. This means that I managed to read the line of letters which was smaller than what a person with a 6/6 perfect vision can.

Which in the doctor’s words, “You have an eyesight better than perfect.”

LOL. Win.
