What are common side effects of Lasik surgery?
LASIK eye surgery is generally considered to be a safe and effective method of treating near-sightedness, far-sightedness, and astigmatism and millions of people undergo this procedure every year throughout the world. No surgery is without risks or complications, however, and this must be understood and accepted before making the decision. The most common side effects of LASIK eye surgery are dry eyes and glare. The incidence of these are debated between proponents and opponents of the surgery. The FDA considers the risks to be low enough to approve the technology required for LASIK (microkeratomes, excimer lasers, etc.) Safety can be increased by selecting a skilled surgeon using the best technology. Studies show that experience is one of the most important factors in selecting a surgeon.

Read this article just issued by the FDA. They sent a letter to doctors requesting that they tell patients about risks associated with Lasik eye surgery after receiving numerous complaints from consumers who experienced double and fuzzy vision and painful dry eyes after getting the procedure.
