But before taking the action you should also put to consideration the saying, "nothing is perfect." This saying or quotation does not only apply to people it also apply to everything in this universe, except of course to the word and the source of this everything. So it applies in Lasik eye surgery.

What if fate chooses you not to be that lucky? These are considerations that you need to ponder. Here are the possible side affects that might occur after the Lasik surgery:

Not all who are undergoing this kind of surgery will respond greatly and perfectly. There are some after the surgery; the doctor still recommends them to wear corrective lenses. There are also others who are prescribed for a higher eye surgery because Lasik surgery is not compatible with them.
Infection of the eye

Laser treatment or surgery offers a very low risk of having eye infection but does not guarantee of a hundred percent risk free from it. Infection of the eye is one of the side effects that you will expect because eyes are naturally sensitive.

Halo in the eye effect

This will be experience by the patients after the operation. Probably two to three days of night he will be seeing hallow. It is because of the peripheral cornea that is not treated. If you are experiencing it for a week or more than it, consult your doctor immediately. You might have a big trouble if you will just let it. Avoid also driving any vehicle for a week after the operation. This will avoid you from accidents that might be caused of the halo effect.

Loss of flap

In the surgery, a flap tissue is created in the cornea. This flap might come out from the eye if the patient will be injured or if he touched his eye surgery within twenty four hours. This coming out within the twenty four hours after the surgery might caused some eye trouble. It is advisable to be in a safe place to avoid injury and always have somebody, probably a nurse or doctor to be safe, to fix the plasters that covers your eye.

Dryness of the eye

This is the condition that enables the eye not to produce tears that will keep the eye clean and moist. People having this side effect suffer a burning sensation or inflammation of the eye. The doctors prescribed this type of patients to have an eye drop treatment. The above side effects are only some of the side effects a Lasik surgery might do to you. So, it is necessary not only to think twice but also several times if you are really willing to get on the risk.
