In that case, you have to use artificial tears to lubricate your eyes effectively. So remember that if your eyes are irritated and sore after surgery, do let your doctor know to take any effective actions to keep the bad thing under control.
2. The complication of over or under correction of your eyes. It is possible that your cornea is over or under cut due to the inaccuracy of surgical instruments. Though you have already had the surgery, you still have to wear eyeglasses to correct the vision error, including nearsightedness and farsightedness. So before the surgery, you should know whether the clinic applies the most advanced surgical skills or not. And if you find your vision is not corrected accurately after surgery, do contact your optician at once to know if you need another operation.
3. The complication of halos. The inaccurate procedures of eye surgery may lead to hazed vision, which means the double vision and halos when looking at objects.
Knowing complications and risks of LASIK surgery well does not mean to scare people from taking the operation. It just makes people know every detail of LASIK surgery before making a decision. In that way, your surgery is liable to have a better effect.
