Question: What Are The Dangers Of Lasik Eye Surgery?
Answer:
LASIK, like any other surgery, is able to have a large number of complications.
It is estimated that from 3% to 6% of patients will have complications six months after surgery.
Some of the more frequently complications are:
- Dry eyes - Overcorrection or Undercorrection - Halos or starbursts - Light sensitivity - Ghost images - Double vision - Induced astigmatism - Corneal Ectasia - Floaters (Deposits that can change light refraction) - Molecular hole (blind spot) - Retinal detachment (Disorder which could lead to vision loss)
The retinal detachment only occurs 0.36%
A conclusive evidence for long-term complications has not been established yet.
And there is only a small chance of having the complications listed above.
