Myopia Surgery Complications

Myopia surgery, commonly referred to as laser vision correction surgery, can help many patients reduce or eliminate their dependence on glasses or contact lenses. However, all surgeries carry potential risks and postoperative complications. Possible complications include: 1. Dry eye syndrome: The surgery may temporarily or permanently affect the quality of tears, causing eye dryness and discomfort. This can be relieved with artificial tears and lubricants. 2. Light sensitivity: For a period after surgery, eyes may be more sensitive to bright light, requiring the use of protective eyewear. 3. Vision fluctuations: In the early postoperative period, vision may fluctuate, but it usually stabilizes within a few months. 4. Overcorrection or undercorrection: The surgery may result in excessive or insufficient correction, leading to vision that does not meet expectations. 5. Elevated intraocular pressure: A temporary increase in intraocular pressure may occur after surgery, requiring monitoring to prevent glaucoma. Note: If any discomfort occurs, contact your doctor immediately.
