There are some potential side effects from lasik vision correction. Here are the most common side effects and complications, but, remember, the vast majority of patients never experience any of these problems.
Most people describe the feeling after lasik surgery as having sand in their eyes. Your eyes may even burn or itch quite a bit. In some cases the discomfort may require a mild pain reliever. It’s very important you don’t rub your eyes, even though they may be begging you to do so, because you may dislodge the cornea flap.
Lasik vision correction is an outpatient procedure which will make a permanent change to the shape of the cornea. This is done to adjust your vision, in the hope to eliminate the need for corrective lenses. In effect, your cornea itself becomes the corrective lens.
