What if my eyes are extremely dry after LASIK?
After LASIK, or even PRK, a patient’s eyes can be dry. While this is a temporary complication, it can be treated with lubricating eye drops. If the eyes are still dry after being treated with lubricating drops, then inserts or “plugs” can be used. Dry eyes usually clear up within a few months after LASIK or PRK. The best thing a patient can do to help treat their dry eyes is to lubricate often, usually several times a day. Contact us for more information on LASIK.
