LASIK risks include a variety of complications, and generally resemble the risks taken with any surgery. Many LASIK risks are directly related to the skill and experience of the operating surgeon, including LASIK risks such as under- or over-treatment, vision loss, and complications like haloes or poor night vision.
LASIK risks, while occurring in the minority of LASIK operations (and generally short-lived) are worth considering. Some LASIK risks are serious and can be permanent, such as blindness. Patients with pre-existing conditions have more LASIK risks and all patients should be screened for conditions such as severe astigmatism that can increase LASIK risks. Patients who suspect that they may have higher odds for certain types of LASIK risks should consult their physicians well before the surgery takes place.
Prospective patients should discuss all LASIK risks with their physician and learn as much as possible about various LASIK risks before they commit to the surgery. Understanding the short and long term implications of various LASIK risks is a must for anyone considering the surgery. A qualified LASIK provider can explain LASIK risks and the ways to limit them, and help patients understand the LASIK risks that they may be most susceptible to personally.
