Perhaps the most common side effect to laser vision correction is dry eyes after a procedure. Most of our patients experience a little dry eye after a procedure. This temporary issue can be relieved with eye drops and it will correct itself within a couple of weeks.
According to FDA trials, 20% of LASIK patients still experience dry eye even six months after a procedure, like LASIK. While this side effect may be annoying, it can be treated with punctual plugs or medications.
At Pacific Eye Specialists, most all of our patients are free of this irritation after one year. This is why the post-LASIK follow-up appointments are absolutely necessary. We take your vision very seriously and we want to make sure you can see clearly for years to come.
LASIK works by correcting the cornea of your eye. LASIK can have you seeing clearly for many, many years, depending upon what age you receive treatment. If you are not a good candidate for LASIK, there are other procedures that can be performed to correct your vision. Learn more about laser vision correction with Pacific Eye Specialists.
LASIK Eye Surgery is currently the most popular type of laser eye correction surgery for nearsightedness, farsightedness, and astigmatism. The procedure is completely blade-free and uses only lasers to reshape the lenses of your eyes for improved vision in all light conditions. The procedure is effective, painless, and involves very little recovery time. The LASIK operation itself involves creating a flap in the eye, reconstructing the surfaces under the flap, and then reattaching the flap over the newly constructed cornea. This is all done by laser while the patient is awake, but the patient is given anesthetic eye drops, and usually a mild sedative to help them relax. Lasik Eye Surgery in Los Angeles has also become a popular notion in recent times and hence you’ll get plenty of good doctors here.
