A member asked:

My eye has been very dry ever since laser surgery. sometimes i feel as if my eye is throbbing and medication hasn't helped my dryness. what next?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Common after LASIK: Around 6-12% of post lasik patients will experience some degree of eye dryness afterwards which can be prolonged. There are good eyedrops and supplements to assist with this. Discuss with your lasik surgery for the best pathway.
