LASIK treatment is one of the most common eye surgeries
conducted in the world. Its successful testament lies to the fact that millions
of people have been operated on, with an overwhelming resounding success.
Repeated surveys have shown that satisfaction levels of the patients have been
above 95%. This is for the past two decades the operation has been in
existence.
However, like any surgery it is not without its own risks.
It is important to discuss them beforehand, so that complete confidence is
maintained between the patient and the doctor.
We aim to list the complications that could result with
LASIK surgery, for the benefit of the patient.
Firstly, after the LASIK procedure a patient might be beset
with imbalances with vision. Meaning disturbances that patient can experience. Conditions
such as dry eye, haziness, mild irritation can be experienced soon after
surgery. In the overwhelmingly number of cases, these issues get resolved by themselves
after a certain period of time. This is usually within the post-operative
period of three or more months.
Another complication that could happen, is that the LASIK
surgery might have been unable to correct the refraction problems which the
patient experienced. One reason for this could be that the cornea did not
respond to the laser surgery. Further laser treatment might be required
depending on the condition of the cornea. This problem could be avoided if the
consulting eye surgeon has the experience and the knowledge to make the proper
diagnosis of the patient.
Then there is the issue of flap. Certain complications can
result from it. The flap is created during the LASIK surgery. If it is not
created properly it might result in distorted vision and other optical issues. According
to medical, flap complications happen in a minute number of patients. According
to American Journal of Ophthalmology, this is less than 0.5%, however all these
complications were successfully derailed within the same surgical session. This
shows the importance of the eye surgeons in the process of LASIK treatment.
The above complications can most of the times be
successfully combated if the surgery is conducted by a skilled surgeon who has
the necessary experience and knowledge. LASIK treatment is known to be a
complicated procedure and should only be conducted by professionals who are
trained for it. Ideally, it should be a cornea surgeon who handles the surgery.
