Dry eyes after LASIK surgery

After LASIK, or even PRK, a patient’s eyes can sometimes be dry.  This temporary complication can be treated with lubricating eye drops.  Typically, dry eyes clear up within a few months after LASIK or PRK.  If the patient’s eyes are still dry after being treated with lubricating drops, then inserts or “plugs” can be used.
