is there any side effects that are cause by laser vision correction?

April 10th, 2010 | by admin |

and what are the risks of this surgery?

I had it done a few years ago, and my side effects were all temporary. Increased dryness in the eyes; this happens to everyone for a few weeks, but it lasted a few months for me since I had dry eyes going into the surgery.

I saw halos around streetlights at night for the first few weeks, then that went away as well.

I would recommend going in for a consultation to talk to a doctor about the side effects and risks. Most consults are free, even if you decide against the surgery. They can tell you what to expect, specific to your eyesight.

I’d recommend it to everyone. It doesn’t hurt, tis just a little awkward during the surgery. But hey, a little awkwardness for 5 minutes has been worth years of contact-free and glasses-free eyes.

    Night blindness is also a risk. Otherwise, it is very safe.

    On a humorous note… If the laser is too strong, you can also get X-Ray vision as well. Seeing fat people naked will make you scream for the very first time., when they are around and wearing clothes.

    Some possible side effects can include slight corneal swelling, eye dryness or the feeling of dryness, light sensitivity and blurring of vision. Again, side-effects are usually the result of your eye’s natural healing process and should go away within a few days. Be sure to discuss potential side effects with your doctor.
