Risks and Complications of LASIK

Informed Choices for Your Vision

As with any surgical procedure, LASIK comes with potential risks and complications. At Shreya Eye Centre, we believe in transparent communication, ensuring our patients make informed decisions about their vision correction options. While LASIK is generally safe, here are some potential risks and complications:

• Dry Eyes: A common side effect, typically temporary and manageable with eye drops.
• Flap Complications: Issues with the corneal flap may lead to irregular healing, though advances in technology have significantly reduced this risk.
• Visual Disturbances: Some patients may experience glare, halos, or difficulty driving at night, often improving within weeks or months.
• Undercorrection or Overcorrection: Rarely, the laser may remove too little or too much tissue, requiring additional treatment.

Our commitment to using the latest technology and comprehensive pre-surgical evaluations minimizes these risks, ensuring LASIK is as safe and effective as possible.
