When\nwe discuss LASIK with our new patients, most people want to fully understand\nthe complications of the surgery. When you come to Eye Consultants of\nPennsylvania, know that you are with the best LASIK eye specialists in PA. We\nwill answer all your questions about the surgery, complications, risk factors\nand more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Side Effects<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LASIK\nsurgery rarely has complications or side effects. Patients commonly experience\ndry eye or temporary disturbances in vision, but both are temporary, only\nlasting a few weeks. Rarely are these conditions a long-term problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dry\neye occurs because there is a temporary decrease in tear production with LASIK\nsurgery. For about six months, patients might experience unusually dry eye while\nthe eye is healing. Even after your eyes are healed, you might have an increase\nin your dry eye condition. We recommend certain eye drops to use during this\nperiod, and for patients with severe dry eye, we might recommend special tear\nduct plugs to prevent fluid from draining away from your eye surface to keep\nthe eyes lubricated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By\nvisual disturbances, we mean seeing halos around lights, excessive sensitivity\nto glare or even double vision. These conditions may not occur at all, or may\nlast a few days to weeks as the eyes heal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Predictability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

LASIK\nsurgery is most effective for people with slight nearsightedness. While our\nsurgeons can correct higher degrees of refractive error (nearsightedness,\nfarsightedness and even astigmatism), results are less predictable. Under-corrections\nsometimes occur, meaning too little tissue has been removed from the eye,\nresulting in less clear vision. Under-corrections are most common in people\nwith high degrees of nearsightedness. Overcorrections can also occur, meaning too\nmuch tissue was removed from the eye. Astigmatisms are more difficult to\ncorrect, and you still may have to wear glasses or contact lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Many\npatients over age 40 weigh the odds of having LASIK surgery versus just wearing\nreading glasses. It\u2019s a good question, and one all patients should consider.\nAfter age 40, all adults lose some ability to focus on nearby objects. This is\ncalled presbyopia and is a natural progression of aging in the eye. Presbyopia\nis the reason you have more difficulty reading small print or doing up close\ntasks like sewing or other hobbies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even\nif you have LASIK surgery to correct for other vision refraction, you may still\nneed to use reading glasses after age 40 for this inevitable presbyopia that\nwill occur. However, many of our patients are more than happy to get LASIK to\ncorrect distance vision, knowing they will have to wear reading glasses when\nthey are older.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Your Expectations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The\nbottom line of all of the above information is that we want to ensure you have\nall the information you need about this procedure and both the benefits as well\nas the risks of LASIK. It is important that patients have realistic information\nso that you have proper expectations about the outcome of this surgery. In the\nvast majority of cases, most people can achieve excellent vision in most cases\nof refractive error. Even better, your vision lasts for decades after LASIK\ncorrection. Imagine being able to swim, play sports and see the alarm clock\nwithout reaching for your glasses. Most patients are simply amazed with the\nresults.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
