As with any surgery or operating procedure a patient can experience some discomforts and problems post surgery. Here’s a look at the risks posed by Lasik:

• There may be over-correction or under-correction of the eye.
• The may be regression, wherein the eye moves towards its original refraction following LASIK procedure.
• There maybe a slight loss in visual sharpness but this goes off after a couple of months.
• There is the possibility of seriousflap complications.

• Those who have dry-eye problems may find the problem enhancing after lasik for the first three months after surgery.
• There is the problem of healing haze wherein collagen protein develops on the surface of the eye after surgery.
• There is the possibility of eye infection.

These risks happen, but the chances of them occurring are very minimal because lasik surgery is performed with a great deal of care in the centers which provides such treatment. Most risks are also solvable, but nevertheless it is important to know about them before going in for such surgery.
