Despite its many benefits, there are also some potential risks and side effects associated with LASIK surgery. These include dry eyes, halos or glare around lights, and over or under correction of vision. While these risks are relatively rare, it is important for patients to discuss them with their surgeon and carefully consider the potential outcomes before deciding to undergo the procedure.

LASIK is not suitable for everyone. Patients who have certain eye conditions, such as glaucoma or cataracts, or who have a history of certain medical conditions, such as autoimmune diseases, may not be good candidates for the procedure.

It is important for patients to undergo a comprehensive eye exam and consultation with a qualified LASIK surgeon to determine whether they are a good candidate for the procedure.
