Below is Lasik Eye Surgery Risks which none of these clinics will explain you before your surgery . I am posting here for public interest if anyone need more information please mail me will revert back as soon as possible .
Risks
- Blindness and irreversible eye damage. In rare cases, errors during surgery (like the malfunctioning of the laser device) or complications after surgery (for example, inflammation) may cause irreversible damage to the eye, including permanent blindness. In other cases, the problems can be corrected with additional surgeries or other treatments.
- Vision loss. You may not see as well after the surgery — even with glasses or contacts — as you did with glasses or contacts before the surgery. Or, you may need glasses or contacts to see as well as you did before surgery.
- Severe night vision problems. You may develop debilitating visual symptoms, particularly glare, halos, and/or double vision that can seriously affect nighttime vision.
- Decrease in contrast sensitivity, “crispness,” or sharpness. Objects may appear fuzzy or grayish. Even with good vision on the vision chart, you may not see as well in situations of low contrast — like at night or in fog — after treatment compared to before.
- Severe dry eye syndrome. As a result of surgery, your eye may not be able to produce enough tears to keep it moist and comfortable. Dry eye not only causes discomfort, but can reduce visual quality due to intermittent blurring and other visual symptoms. This condition may be permanent. Intensive drop therapy and use of plugs or other procedures may be required.
Complications
- Corneal infection or inflammation. These problems may require additional surgery or other treatments.
- Problems with the corneal flap after surgery. These include irregular or incomplete flaps, ingrowth of cells under the flap that may need to be surgically removed, and irregular healing that results in a distorted cornea, which can only be corrected with a corneal transplant.
