m sorry to say but this LASIK (Laser-in-situ-Keratomileusis) is not totally riskfree.This therapy is only possible if the weakness of eye lies between -10D and +3D. Presbyopes can not be treated.
By this surgery,local anaesthia is required and in case of nervousness some tranquilizers can also be taken.to correct ur the eye defect, the outermost layer of cornea is cut and folded.this is done with a very fine OP knife microtome or femtosecond laser(femto LASIK).And then LASER is used.
Possible Complications:
*pain and burning of eye along with excessive tears take place often after the OP.Dryness of eye is also possible.
*Due to open cornea,infection as well as ulcers can develop.
*small folds of cornea can evolve while folding the outer layer which may cause vision problems.
*opacity of cornea is possible.
*in case of weakness of corneal tissues by birht,it can cause to bulging of cornea which has to be treated with cornea transplantion.in most of such cases, it can cause to worse vision and even to blindness.
These are some of the side effects which MAY be caused.i may have forgotten others as well.its better to consult ur eye surgeon.but still there are many successful cases.if u r unlucky it may go wrong but the process itself is not bad at all.on the first day after OP, u'll start noticing the progress.statistically seen, 90% of the cases are successful and in other 5-10% it may worsen ur vision rather than upgrading.It's better if u r above 25 years as growth comes to a halt at the age of around 25.
Good luck!
