LASIK Surgery Side Effects
Most patients feel discomfort within the first two days of LASIK. Other side effects are rare and usually disappear over time. You will notice a change in your vision after the procedure, but it will not be noticeable immediately. (13)
Before you leave, one of the LASIK physicians will check your eyes to ensure everything is in order. Other symptoms include:
Dry Eyes
Patients who undergo LASIK should expect to experience dry eyes as a side-effect. The method disrupts the eye’s natural tear system. Artificial tears are used by many people to moisten the eyes. By the time the eyes heal, they use less tears. A LASIK doctor will examine this part of your healing process at your scheduled appointment.
