Choose Experienced Lasik Surgeons

Because inexperience is such a big factor in Lasik complications, it probably makes sense to choose an experienced lasik surgeon to move the odds in your favour.  

A possible side effect is inflammation where the flap makes contact with the eye.   Another is called epithelial ingrowth, in which cells lining the surface of the eye move underneath a problem flap and start growing.

As this happens after the actual Lasik procedure, further treatment comes under the heading of post-operative care.

But the odds, in general, are good. Very few patients suffer lasting damage that seriously threatens their vision, and most Lasik complications are cleared up via a further enhancement.
