Nearsightedness surgery; Radial keratotomy; Refractive surgery; LASIK Expectations after surgery: Long-range follow-up studies of people who have had the procedure indicate that nearly 90% will see close to 20/20 without glasses. Approximately 10% reported partially corrected vision with a continuing need for glasses or contact lenses. One percent experienced serious complications which permanently decreased the vision. advertisement For those older patients who needed bifocals before surgery, reading glasses will still be needed even though distance vision may be clear without glasses. Convalescence: The procedure is done on an outpatient basis. It takes only a short time, with the person under local anesthesia. Protective glasses may be worn for several days, although full recovery can take several months.
