Risks

LASIK vision correction is a surgical procedure, and like all surgeries, there is a potential for risks and complications. Every eye heals differently, and it is not possible to predict precisely how your eye will heal. Although most patients are very pleased with the results of their refractive surgery, every patient should weigh the chance of experiencing complications against the potential benefits the procedure that LASIK can provide.

At TLC Laser Eye Centers, the risks of the surgery your LASIK procedure are discussed with you in-depth the patient prior to your the LASIK procedure. Proper pre-operative screening and testing ensures that you are considered a solid LASIK candidate only when it is medically advisable and safe.  As well, in addition, diligent post-operative care helps to identify and address potential healing complications.
 
With laser eye surgery, along with any other type of surgery, there are never any guarantees. LASIK does not promise that you will never need to use contacts or glasses again, however it can severely decrease your dependency on visual aids. It is important to keep those facts in mind when planning your laser procedure, and weighing the risks.
