Possible LASIK Surgery Complications

Perhaps the most important factor to consider before getting LASIK eye surgery are the possible complications. More people than ever are undergoing the operation thanks to the lowered cost and availability of clinics. For that reason the public needs to be made aware of any post operative side affects from Lasic surgery.

The thought of never having to wear glasses is one we all can appreciate. However, don't rush to the clinic. The negative side effects can last a lifetime. Obviously, the number one danger is that something goes wrong and you lose your eyesight in one or both eyes. This is very rare. More common is a partial loss of vision on one or both eyes.

Other people complain about seeing halos or coronas around objects, particulary while driving at night. Distinguishing between objects of the same color when everything looks gray has also been reported..

Be sure to talk to your eye care professional to understand all the risks you will be facing after Lasik surgery. Never rush into surgery, and be sure you clinic has a good track record. Research all complaints and be sure you have a doctor you trust your eyes in.
