Dr. Wang Shuai
Post-Laser Eye Surgery Side Effects: 1. Dry Eye Syndrome: The surgery may affect the stability of the tear film, causing dry eyes, which can be relieved with artificial tears. 2. Light Sensitivity: Patients may experience sensitivity to bright light or glare, especially while driving at night. 3. Vision Fluctuations: In the early postoperative period, vision may fluctuate and may take some time to stabilize. 4. Overcorrection or Undercorrection: The surgical outcome may result in overcorrection or undercorrection of vision, potentially requiring glasses or an additional procedure for adjustment. 5. Visual Quality Issues: Some individuals may experience visual disturbances such as difficulty with night vision, halos, double vision, or starbursts around lights. Note: If you experience any unusual symptoms, seek medical attention immediately.
