subject: Risks In Laser Eye Procedure [print this page] Laser eye surgery now becomes much popular than ever before, but there are still some risk and complications in the procedure. Therefore, it is needed to take this aspect into consideration before getting the procedure. Doing so can greatly reduce any possible risks.
Like many other surgeries, some risks are also involved in laser procedure. But the possibility of getting them can be reduced to a great extent now, due to some advanced and widely employed technologies in the procedure.
However, not all people are ideal candidates for laser eye surgery. Here are some examples. Pregnant women are never suggested to get this surgery- they may have some problems in healing. People who have unstable eyes can not get it. In addition, people who have certain physical problems are not suitable candidates for this procedure, like sufferers of diabetes can not get laser eye surgery. Of course, people should tell almost every detail about their medical history and family history.
If well checked, only less than 1% patients may suffer from side effects of some kind after the surgery. However, the qualification of surgeons also plays a decisive role in determining the safety of the whole procedure. In addition, the way how surgeons treat the procedure will also determine the results. Some patients may suffer from certain complications due to surgeons ignorance.
Anyway, it is needed to consult with eye doctor before getting this surgery. Some further exams are needed for much greater safety.
