What are the risks of LASEK ?

All laser eye surgery comes with a small amount of risk. Complications are rare but they do happen and this is something you need to take into account when thinking about laser vision correction.

Complications include:

  • Thinning of the cornea
  • Slower recovery
  • More pain and discomfort with LASEK than other laser treatments.
  • Haze
  • Glare
  • Infection

These will be pointed out to you during your consultation. This is why it’s important to be aware of these before making any decision.
