What are the risks of Epi-LASIK?
Unfortunately nothing in life is 100% risk free and this equally applies to laser eye surgery. Laser vision correction is a tried and tested form of surgery but complications do occur in a small minority of cases.
Complications with Epi-LASIK are:
- Dry eye/s
- Complications with the corneal flap
- Over correction
- Under correction
- Glare
- Halos
- Starbursts
If you develop any of these then you may require follow up surgery.
The surgeon will advise you about the risks of Epi-LASIK, along with the benefits. You can then weigh these up before making a decision.Epi-LASIK Surgery Guide:
