LASIK and Eye Surgery Blog - Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center

Just as with any surgery, there are risks involved with LASIK eye surgery. A good LASIK surgeon such as the ones at Clearview Eye and Laser Medical Center in California will discuss all possible risks with you before you schedule your LASIK surgery. The most common potential problems that may occur during laser vision correction surgery are over-correction, under-correction and what is called “wrinkling.” Wrinkling is a bit more serious than over or under-correcting your vision. Wrinkling means that the corneal flap might have been moved causing wrinkles that could possible lead to permanent blurry areas.

Some other side effects include:

Increased sensitivity to light
Halos around eyes
Blurred vision
Double vision

These symptoms typically lessen in the first few weeks following LASIK surgery. However, there is also a chance for corneal damage and/or scarring, which can lead to partial or full vision loss. Making sure you are a good candidate for LASIK is a good way to avoid these complications from occurring.
