Berkeley Eye Center- Cleveland

It's the #1 question we get after a LASIK consultation: "How long does it last? Will it wear off?"

Let's clear up one of the biggest myths in vision correction: No, the correction from LASIK does not "wear off." The procedure permanently reshapes your cornea.

So why do some people notice their vision changing years later? The confusion comes from natural, age-related eye changes that are a completely separate process from your LASIK procedure.

In our new, doctor-written guide, we break down what you can really expect long-term. We cover:

✔️ Why the LASIK correction itself is permanent.
✔️ The 3 main reasons your vision might change over time (like needing reading glasses after 40).
✔️ What the long-term research and studies actually say.

If you're considering LASIK, this is a must-read to understand the true longevity of your results.

Itchy, red, watery eyes? Houston's spring allergy season is here, and it can be miserable.

To help you find relief and enjoy the season, our team of Houston eye doctors has put together a list of their top Do's and Don'ts for managing your symptoms.

DO THIS FOR RELIEF:

👍 Apply a Cold Compress: This provides immediate relief from itching and swelling.
👍 Wear Protective Sunglasses: Create a physical barrier that keeps pollen from getting into your eyes.
👍 Use Lubricating Eye Drops (Artificial Tears): They help rinse away allergens and soothe irritation.

AVOID DOING THIS:

👎 Rub Your Eyes: This is the most common mistake and it will make your symptoms worse by releasing more histamine.
👎 Wear Your Contact Lenses During a Flare-Up: Allergens get trapped under the lenses. Give your eyes a break and switch to glasses.
👎 Overuse "Gets the Red Out" Drops: These can cause rebound redness. Stick to lubricating or antihistamine drops instead.

While these tips can provide great relief, sometimes over-the-counter options aren't enough. Our comprehensive blog post explains when it's time to see a doctor for prescription-strength options that can make a dramatic difference.
