What are the risks?


No web page nor even a one on one discussion with your doctor could ever cover every possible risk. But some of the possible ones are:

  • Overcorrection

  • Undercorrection

  • Infection

  • Blurred vision

  • Glare

  • Loss of clarity or contrast of vision

(Many of the above symptoms are similar to problems with contact lenses.)

 Recent studies have indicated contact lenses may pose a greater risk than LASIK surgery
