LASIK Risks and Side Effects
Q1. Does LASIK surgery come with any risks?
Answer:
Yes, of course. Every surgery has its own risks, and all these risks will vary among individuals.
Which is why our NO COMPROMISE, pre-treatment eye examinations take 2 to 3 times longer, or require more measurements than other clinics. We need to make sure that
- you are really suitable for treatment, and that the surgery can be performed on your eyes safely, and with minimal risk.
- you understand the risks that may apply to your eye condition.
Q2. Does LASIK surgery come with any side effects?
Answer:
Yes, they do. The side effects that come with LASIK are normally short-term, and during the recovery process.
Some of the common ones are:
- temporary dry eyes, which can be overcome with the use of artificial tears or lubricant drops
- minor vision fluctuation during the recovery process
Which is why your post operative checkups are scheduled in a such way that we can monitor your recovery process.
