LASIK Complications
If you are considering LASIK surgery, you are probably wondering about the safety and risks of the procedure. In general, vision-threatening complications are rare, provided you are a good candidate for the surgery. Most complications that do arise can be corrected with additional enhancement procedures.
Possible LASIK complications include:
• Dry eye
• Overcorrection
• Undercorrection
• Glare and halos
• Epithelial ingrowth
These complications are typically reversible and do not have long-term effects on vision.
To reduce the risks of LASIK, choose a surgeon who is experienced and uses FDA-approved lasers. A good eye surgeon carefully screens LASIK patients. Certain conditions may mean that the procedure is not right for you; if that is the case, your LASIK surgeon should not recommend the procedure for you and should instead suggest alternatives.
