A member asked:
Can you lose vision from excimer laser treatment?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Possible but rare: Any surgical procedure on the eye can cause loss of vision. This is very rare, however. Reasons might be poor candidacy, over or under correction, healing problems, dry eye and infection. Fda studies have demonstrated that excimer laser vision correction is both safe and effective.
