The LASIK surgery is not appropriate for people that have severe problems or the natural fluctuations in the thickness and shape of cornea as there might be complications that can be risky to handle. Blurred vision, aching dry eyes, development of halos or blinding light during the night are some of the common problems that are faced.
Some other risks should also be considered while you are looking forward for a treatment from LASIK eye surgery. There may be a possibility that the condition of your eye has been incorrectly diagnosed by the doctor. In such cases, the patient might be affected with incurable debilitating visual symptoms like halos, glare, or even double vision once your eyes has been operated upon. You may also develop a syndrome of dry eyes that might be unhealthy for the corneas of your eyes, if left untreated.
In case you are farsighted, it may be possible that you have to again resort to specs after a few years as you grow older. Though a significant improvement can be noticed after the LASIK treatment, still it always helps to have realistic expectations keeping in mind you health, eye condition, age and other such factors. Reading the information on the Internet and books related to LASIK eye surgery can prove to be of great help.
