Risks

LASIK is a surgical procedure, and like all surgeries, there is a potential for risks and complications. Every eye heals differently, and it is not possible to predict precisely how your eye will heal. Although most patients are very pleased with the results of their refractive surgery, every patient should weigh the chance of experiencing complications against the potential benefits the procedure can provide.

At TLC Laser Eye Centers, risks of the surgery are discussed with the patient prior to the procedure. Proper pre-operative screening and testing ensures that you are considered a candidate only when it is medically advisable. As well, diligent post-operative care helps to identify and address potential healing complications.
