What are Risks and side effects of LASIK Surgery?

Every surgical procedure carries a certain number of risks and side effects. Laser eye surgery is no exception. While the chances of most of the problems listed below occurring are very low, it’s still important to be aware of them so you’ll know what to expect. Please feel free to discuss whatever worries you may have with your surgeon. A specific end result cannot be guaranteed, although it can be closely predicted based on data from thousands of previous cases
During the first few days after surgery, most people can expect to experience at least some of these effects- Increased sensitivity to light, halos and glare at night, gritty sensation in the eye and dry, red spots on the cornea. In most cases, these effects lessen or disappear over time as the eye heals.

Serious complications are fortunately rare, with LASIK. Some of these include infection, wrinkles in the flap, epithelial in growth and increased or decreased response to correction. These complications are usually treatable with medication or further surgery. Corneal ectasia is a very rare and serious complication which may cause permanent visual loss or require a corneal transplant.
