While eye surgery offers numerous benefits, it is essential to be aware of the potential risks and complications. These may include:
- Infection: Although rare, infections can occur post-surgery and require prompt medical attention.
- Dry Eyes: Some patients experience dryness in the eyes following surgery, which can usually be managed with artificial tears.
- Undercorrection or Overcorrection: In some cases, the desired results may not be fully achieved, necessitating additional procedures.
- Vision Changes: Temporary or, in rare cases, permanent changes in vision may occur.
It is crucial to discuss these risks with your surgeon and ensure you are a suitable candidate for the procedure.
