Category: Risks of Laser Vision Correction Many of our patients are surprised and some are upset by the extent to which we attempt to inform them of the potential for complications. It is not our intention to frighten or dissuade someone from pursuing laser surgery, as most of our patients will never encounter any serious complications and the vast majority are pleased with the improvement they achieve. It is our intention, however, to accurately outline the associated risks to all candidates so that they may either elect not to accept the risks associated or be better prepared to deal with any unexpected complications or side effects which may arise. Custom LASIK is a purely elective procedure, and you may decide not to have this operation at all.
The risks of Custom LASIK revolve around 5 primary areas:
1. Post-operative Side Effects, Adverse Effects and Complications
2. Refractive Complications
3. Corneal Flap Complications
4. Corneal Healing Complications
5. Other Miscellaneous Complications
