Tip of the Week

LASIK, as with any surgery, comes with risks. The following are some complications associated with the LASIK procedure:

Flap Complications: Resulting from irregular flaps, such as folds or wrinkles from a poor cut. This results in visual aberrations.

Incomplete Corrections: Things such as over or under corrections. These result in blurred vision and poor vision.

Decentered Ablations: The result of this is visual aberrations.

Haze: Another complication that results in visual aberrations.

Infection: An infection could show itself with oozing, redness of the eyes, and pain.

These are just a small list of the complications associated with the LASIK procedure. Please speak to your doctor about all the complications that are possible.
