Whenever laser vision correction is brought up in conversation, there is a good chance that someone will shudder at the idea and respond with a statement somewhere along the lines of, “I will never let a laser come near my eye” or “I am too scared to have LASIK done”.

We have come across a good amount of LASIK candidates who share these exact sentiments. And one interesting fact we find whenever we dive deeper into our prospective patients’ fears is that, very often their irrational fears regarding laser vision correction come from one notorious movie scene – a horrifying scene from Final Destination 5, where a woman goes for LASIK but ends up dead. If you haven’t seen it, we strongly suggest you do not – but if you must, please read this article before doing so or risk being traumatised and not wanting to have LASIK done!

So to see where all these irrational fears were coming from, we watched and studied this infamous horror scene and found 5 crucial inaccuracies that render it pure Hollywood nonsense.

1. Your head will never be clamped down or “trapped”
2. You will never be left alone in the operating room during surgery
3. There will never be any water dispensers or precariously placed cups of water in the operating room
4. The laser is not a scary red beam and is not able to burn through skin or eyes
5. The laser continuously tracks your eye movement and shuts off the moment your eye moves out of position

Laser vision correction has never been safer than it is today, and is one of the most popular elective surgeries in Singapore.

LASIK surgery is painless and quick, and with our flapless and bladeless procedures like Safe Sight TransPRK and ReLEx SMILE, the path to clear vision is now even safer and more comfortable.
