Is LASIK worth it for New Yorkers? How to decide

Busy New Yorkers often see LASIK as a way to stop dealing with contacts on a crowded commute. It can be a good choice for the right eyes. But in a city with high rents and aggressive advertising, it is worth slowing down to compare costs and risks, and to check that you really are a candidate.

Weighing the decision

Might favor surgery

  • A stable prescription
  • Contact lens intolerance
  • A job or sport where glasses get in the way

Might favor waiting

  • A changing prescription
  • Dry eye or thin corneas
  • You are near the age when reading glasses start

Might favor not doing it

  • Your glasses work fine and you do not mind them
  • Worry about glare at night
  • Eye conditions that raise risk

New York records

  1. License

    Use the Office of the Professions lookup to verify an ophthalmologist.

  2. Discipline

    Physician actions appear on the Department of Health's site.

  3. Certification

    Use the American Board of Ophthalmology search.

  4. Community

    The New York Society of Eye Physicians and Surgeons is a professional group for eye physicians in the state.

What can go wrong

The FDA lists loss of vision in some patients, dry eye, glare, halos and under- or over-correction. It also says the long-term safety and effectiveness of LASIK are not known. Serious problems aren't common, but you should still hear about them directly from your surgeon, along with how they are handled and who would pay for treatment.

Screens, dry air and long days

Long days at a screen and dry office air can make your eyes feel tired and gritty. Tell your surgeon about your work. Ask how soon you could go back to screens and what you can do at your desk. Plan for the possibility of needing drops for a while afterward.

Clearing the B restriction

New York is one of the clearer states on this point. The DMV states that you can remove the corrective lenses restriction, called a B restriction, from your license after vision correction surgery. You will generally need a Vision Test Report, form MV-619, completed by a vision care professional, or a test taken at the DMV.

  1. Wait for stability

    Ask at a follow-up visit whether your results have settled enough to test.

  2. Choose your route

    You can take the test in person, bring form MV-619 or use the mail process that the DMV describes.

  3. Check the fee

    Replacement fees can change, so read the current DMV page before you send payment.

  4. Carry glasses until then

    A valid restriction still applies until the new license arrives.

Many New Yorkers do not drive daily, but a license is still ID, and a rental car on vacation can raise the issue. It is simple to handle once and forget.

Steam, grit and subway platforms

A healing eye dislikes dust and grit, and platforms and construction sites provide plenty. Ask if wraparound sunglasses make sense for your commute during the first week or two, and do not rub your eyes in a crowded train car. If you get hit in the eye after LASIK, even weeks later, call your surgeon, because flap problems are rare but need prompt attention.

New York LASIK questions

Is LASIK a good idea if I wear contacts on a long commute?

It may be if your prescription is stable and your eyes are healthy. Ask about dry eye, because contacts and screens can already affect your eyes. Stop wearing contact lenses before your evaluation, as instructed, so the measurements are accurate.

What if I do not mind wearing glasses?

Then you may have little reason to have surgery. LASIK is elective, and glasses avoid surgical risk. A good surgeon should not push you. Compare the cost and risk with what you would gain in daily life, then decide.

How can I find out if a New York doctor has been disciplined?

Search the Department of Health physician actions, and verify the license with the Office of the Professions. Having no record does not prove skill, so also ask about experience, results and how complications are handled.

Can I go back to work the next day after LASIK?

Many people return soon, but it depends on your procedure, healing and job. Your surgeon can give you a timeline. Screen work may feel tiring at first. Do not book big deadlines right after surgery in case recovery takes longer.

Do I need to stop wearing contacts before my LASIK exam?

Usually yes, because contacts can change the shape of your cornea and affect the measurements. The FDA mentions this in its checklist. Ask your practice how long to stop, as this may vary by lens type.
