Can complications occur with Lasik Surgery?


During the initial recovery period after the surgery, some individuals may complain of visual glares, halos, and tearing. Once the procedure has been done, it is irreversible.

Overall, Lasik is a safe procedure, but about 3-5% of individuals do have nighttime difficulty, blurring, and glare. These side effects do resolve in some individuals but in others, they are permanent. Other rare complications of Lasik include the probability of an infection, temporary need for glasses, additional surgery and a sensation of a dry eye.
