Complications may generally occur. Improper surgical technique during the procedure may cause ocular injury; therefore, caution is essential during myopia surgery. Although the risk and incidence of complications associated with myopia surgery are low, it is strongly recommended to undergo the procedure at a reputable hospital. In the early postoperative period, some patients may experience dizziness due to temporary difficulty adapting—this is a normal phenomenon. After myopia surgery, proper ocular hygiene and management are crucial, and patients must attend scheduled follow-up examinations as directed by their physician.
