Bad LASIK Eye Surgery : Be Prepared To Stop It Happening To You
Change in shape of the cornea is a serious complication that can occur with laser eye surgery which has implications on receiving and wearing contact lenses. If after the surgery the cornea is oddly shaped, you may have problems finding contacts that will fit. If this happens, special contacts, which will much more expensive than the average lens, would be required. A bad LASIK eye surgery can also result in constant burning and irritation, which may be treated with eye drops. However, if your doctor does not thoroughly explain the risks involved, find a new doctor!
“Let the Buyer Beware!” No where is this more important than in medical procedures. There is never any guarantee that you will not experience complications. There have been over half a million LASIK surgeries done since the procedure was approved in 1998, but there is no guarantee that a procedure will last your entire life.
Just doing a little research–even just asking how many procedures done by the doctor, how many of those procedures were successful and how many had complications—may keep you from turning something that is just inconvenient (such as wearing glasses or contacts) to something that is life-long. While most complications associated with LASIK Eye Surgery are just minor annoyances, becoming permanently disabled may be more than a simple minor annoyance.
