Studies have shown that lasik surgery complications are very rare and they occur only about less than 1%in all cases.

It is only on rare occasions that a Los Angeles Lasik treatment can lead to complications which may require surgical therapy.
Some of the temporary problems and complication associated with lasik surgery include dry eye, light sensitivity, Halos, starbursts. Dry eyes are a very common problem, which is faced by many patients after the completion of the laser vision surgery. This is mainly because of the reduced sensitivity of eyes after the treatment.
Besides dry eyes, Halos and starbursts may also affect eyes after the surgery. Eyes may become sensitive to light and their ability to view clearly objects, their color, and contrasts may be affected. Most of these problems are temporary and resolve on their own.
To avoid any kind of risks and complication, it is important to ensure that the patient is properly screened and tested to know about the exact problem, patients health status and other problems associated with the patient that may affect the Los Angeles Lasik treatment. Another element that influences that laser vision surgery is the efficiency and the experience of the surgeon operating on the patient. It would be good to do some ground research and gain good knowledge before selecting a Los Angeles Laser vision surgeon or a lasik vision correcting treatment.
