Lasik Eye Surgery Risk And Complications.

So far you have come to know what lasik eye surgery is, what its use is, how it is done, how it works and how it helps us. Here I am going to tell you about the risk and complication s involved in the surgery. Confused? If you thought that lasik eye surgery is 100% risk free, then you are wrong. As like other eye surgeries lasik eye surgery also have risk factors but the difference here is that it has less risk than the others. Ok let’s proceed to risk factors.

If you are considering LASIK eye surgery and concerned that something could go erroneous, you might take relief in knowing that it's very rare for complications from this surgery to cause permanent, considerable loss of vision. Also, many complications can be resolved through re-treatment or enhancements of the eye.

The common complications include:
a) Loss of vision: Some patients are reported to lose vision lines on the vision chart which cannot be rectified with contact lenses, glasses, or surgery resulting from treatment.
b) Debilitating visual symptoms: Some patients develop glare, corona, and/or double vision which critically affect nighttime vision of the patients. Even with good quality vision on the chart of vision, some of the patients who have undergone the surgery, do not see the same in conditions of low contrast, such as in fog or at night, after treatment as compared to before treatment.

c) Under treated or over treated: Only a few percent of patients attain 20/20 vision devoid of glasses or contact lenses. After surgery you may still require glasses or contact lenses. Even if you only needed a very weak prescription before surgery this may be true. You may still need reading glasses after surgery if you used them before surgery.
d) Severe dry eye syndrome: As a result of the surgery, patient’s eye may not be able to fabricate sufficient tears to keep the eye clammy and relaxed. Dry eye not only causes uneasiness, but can decrease visual excellence due to irregular blurring and other visual symptoms.
e) Erroneous Results: Patients who have very large refractive errors of any type the surgery is not found to be 100% successful.
f) Results diminishing with age: Various patients have reported that the result of the surgery diminished with the increasing age.
g) Long-term data is not available: The first laser was approved for LASIK eye surgery in 1998. Thus, being a new technology the long-term safety and effectiveness of LASIK surgery is unknown.

Additional risks are also there during lasik eye surgery but are found to be very rare. Going for the right eye surgeon is perhaps the single most important step you can take to reduce any risks related with LASIK eye surgery. A qualified, reputable surgeon will take care you are appropriately checked to let you know frank if you aren't a good candidate for LASIK eye surgery.
