Text 
The LASIK procedure is irreversible. The long term complications of the surgery are still to be fully documented. However the procedure is safe and many advancements have taken place since its invention. The incidence of unresolved complications in patients six months after the LASIK surgery is 3% to 6%. Some of the frequently observed complications are as follows:  Over or under corrections Sensitivity to light Dry eyes Fluctuations in visual acuity Double vision Presence of wrinkles or debris under the corneal flap Induced astigmatism Erosion of the epithelium Posterior vitreous detachment Hole in the maculaIn an interesting review it was found that the patients who were dissatisfied with the LASIK Surgical procedure were the ones who had unexpected expectations from the procedure rather than faulty surgery(4). "If the surgeon tells the patients they will have perfect vision afterwards and they will throw away their glasses, that raises unduly high expectations" David Gartry, Laser eye surgeon, UK |

Posted on: 11/06/2011 Thank you very much for the information. I have undergone lasik once, but, in the experimental stage, so the power is back to -6. I also had laser for bleeding behind the retina. This included Avastin - 3 times. Could I go for lasik to reduce power?
Regards
Sophia

Posted on: 10/31/2011 I am 30 years old and a Software engineer at Bangalore. My power is LE -4 and RE - 8.5 but wearing LE -2.5 and RE - 4.0 with cylindrical due to double vision if it is correct power. I am very comfortable with glasses and dont want to take any unnecessary risk with my eyes. The reason why i prefer to go[if doctors agree so] for lasik is due to severe headache and not able to concentrate while driving with glasses. I will be doing at Netradhama at Bangalore.(most probably Dr. Sri Ganesh). Any advises or recommendations
