Cirujano Lasik

Before undergoing LASIK surgery, or any surgery for that matter, it is very important to know and understand the different risks involved in the procedure. By knowing the risks you can prepare yourself for the possible consequences and necessary actions that you would have to do should you be unlucky enough to experience certain complications because of the surgery.

However, it is safe to say that LASIK surgery doesn’t entail any life-threatening complications, but there may be cases where minor complications will happen.

Infection and delayed healing:

This basically means what it states. An infection in the cornea which could result in delay of healing. But this rarely happens in LASIK surgery, and during which cases when it does happen, there are no long-term effects in the healing process.

Undercorrection/Overcorrection:

In LASIK surgery, this usually happens because the eyes still try to adjust to the procedure, and sometimes, you would have to undergo a second procedure to achieve the desired vision for you.

Regression:

This is similar to undercorrection when a patient still has a vision problem over a few months. When this happens, a second procedure is done to achieve the desired results of the patient.
