LASIK is one of the safest surgeries in medicine; however, there is a risk of corneal flap complications. Fortunately, the risk is very low.
Dr. David Mashidas discusses the risk of infection after LASIK, and what patients can do to reduce that risk even further.
LASIK risks include undercorrection, overcorrection, infection, dry eye syndrome, and flap complications. These complications are rare and preventable.
The success rates of LASIK surgery are generally high, with patients able to see clearly without the aid of glasses and contact lenses.
Following Dr. Masihdas’ pre-operative LASIK instructions can help you improve your chances for outstanding results from this procedure.
Candidates for LASIK surgery are at least 18 years old, have healthy corneas, suffer from refractive error(s), do not have dry eye syndrome, and are not pregnant or nursing.
Although LASIK is extremely safe and effective, it does have some side effects, like any other medical procedure.
