LASIK SURGERY COMPLICATIONS AND RISK

LASIK SURGERY COMPLICATIONS AND RISK
Illustration

The popularity of LASIK surgery is soaring. It is considered to be a surgery with little or no risks associated with it. Therefore, people seem to make rash decisions when considering having the procedure done. To think that a surgery of any type, no matter how minor, does not have possible complications is at best naive, at worst it is complete stupidity. This is especially true of a surgery that is conducted on your eyes.

Another common complication that can arise from the LASIK surgery is the condition known as dry eye. This is when the eye does not produce enough tears to keep the eye moist. There are people that have this issue without ever having LASIK surgery; however, there is a very high incident rate among recent patients after the surgery. Most people do experience some relief from dry eye after about a month or so into the healing process. However, for most patients, the symptoms do not disappear entirely.

Talk to your surgeon about all of the risks that are associated with the LASIK surgery. You will need to weigh them against the potential gains in your self-esteem and even perhaps the future savings of not having to purchase glasses or contact lenses. Your doctor will be happy to talk to you about these potential problems and let you know how you can help to avoid having them happen to you.

There are a fair amount of people that complain of distorted vision as a result of the LASIK procedure being performed. These complications include seeing halos around objects, blurred vision, and an increased difficulty seeing in adverse conditions such as nighttime or foggy weather. This is because of the diminishing contrasts in colors in these types of situations.

The most obvious danger with any surgery that is being performed on your eyes is the loss of sight. This is also true with LASIK eye surgery, although it is not a very common consequence. A more common issue with this procedure is actually the partial loss of vision. This includes losing bands of sight on the reading chart, if this happens the use of glasses or contacts will not be able to correct the situation.

  WHAT IS LASIK ?
LASIK is a surgical procedure that is capable of correcting a wide range of nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia) and astigmatism. Although LASIK is the most commonly performed refractive procedure in the United States, the FDA considers the performance of LASIK a practice-of-medicine issue. (This means that physicians can perform LASIK should the physician and the patient make the joint decision to do so.)
