What are the risks of refractive surgery and how common are they?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Ref surgery risks: Risks for refractive surgery range from inadequate to over correction of error to visually debilitating consequences. I believe the best way to avoid these is to seek an expereinced and dedicated surgeon who performs more than one technique so the surgery is customized to your eyes and not limited to their abilities. No " one size fits all".
