Frequently Asked Questions

Can laser eye surgery go wrong??

No surgical procedure is 100% risk free and you should be aware of potential problems.

Serious complications are rare but do happen in all laser surgery establishments throughout the world. Actual and theoretical complications should be described explained by the clinic or surgeon.

Most complications resolve themselves in time. The final outcome cannot be guaranteed and you must be aware that side effects of laser eye surgery can in some cases be permanent. The healing process differs from one patient to another.
