Lasik Surgery Risks

Recently, lasik surgery has become more and more popular all over the world. Nevertheless there has often been a misconception about the risks that can occur due to the surgical procedure. Some people tend not to be aware of what the procedure consists in, and think there is absolutely no risk when doing lasik surgery. On the other some people tend to see the worst side and are to fearful to do the surgical procedure or even to think about it!

What you need to know is that as for any surgical operation there is always a risk of having complications. Yet again as in all surgical operation the chance to have complications is rather low, and often these complications are rather small and not too unhealthy. Many people think that with eye laser surgery, if the operation does not go well, you will get blind. This is really extremely rare and has hardly ever happened...Nevertheless there is a risk of having small subtile problems, and these need to be taken into consideration before opting for lasik surgery. There is a risk you can have an annoying problem but also a risk of having something which will hurt a lot which is not so nice.

The biggest complication that seems to appear with eye laser surgery, is regression. In fact this issue is more painful for your wallet and money than for your eye health! Other more annoying and painful problems which could occur are under or over corrections (creating awful headaches due to vision problems), or an infection which could create an important pain in the eye! Nevertheless these are quite rare, and if ever they happen they are rather small and not too annoying or painful, and can always be corrected later on.

All in all you can see that lasik surgery risks are rather small, but exist as for any surgical procedure! Before opting for eye laser surgery it is important to be aware of the risks encountered in order to take the right decision!
