Should You Worry About Complications From LASIK Eye Surgery

By Sandi Feris

No doubt about it, but that LASIK eye surgery is what is referred to as an invasive, or intrusive surgical procedure. Now what both these terms mean, is that the actual outer skin of the eye itself is cut as part of the procedure. Hence; just as with any other type of operation that involves cutting, complications can arise.

So then just what are some of the post operative complications that can result from this procedure? One of the most common is nerve damage that can happen when the cornea is cut that results in eye dryness, and some of the common symptoms of this problem are a sense of foreign matter in the eye, eyelid sticking and burning.

If this fact worries you at all, you need to know that all types of surgeries have what is called a success rate, and none of them is 100% positive. In fact people have developed serious complications, and even died after they have undergone even the most routine dental work, so the fact is that LASIK eye surgery can make your problem worse.

Another thing to think about, is after the operation, the cornea of your eye will be adversely effected to some degree for the rest of your life. You see, some surgeons are better skilled, and also some people do heal better than other people too. Just the same, even after the cornea has been completely healed, it will be more easier to injure.

Even if you heal perfectly with absolutely no problems, there still remains the risk of some long term consequences. For instance, studies have shown that LASIK eye surgery can leave you more vulnerable to cataracts. There are a few other cornea health issues that can be effected by this surgery procedure over the long haul as well.

One very common preventative measure that can be taken is simply to have your two LASIK eye procedures scheduled and performed on separate days. Now understandably many doctors would prefer to do both operations on the same day, but having them done separately eliminates the risk of infection spreading from one eye to another.
