Can you please lay out the long terms side effects of laser eye surgery?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
LASIK?: There are many types of laser eye surgery but lasik is the most common. Dry eye is the most common side affect and can be severe in 10% of these procedures. More severe side affects can happen if your corneas are left too thin or progressively continue to thin out.
