Can humidity level in the air affect dry eye after lasik?

Yes: When it is dry, then you need more moisture in your eyes. This is true for all eyes, including ones that have had lasik.

Humid: Yes. If you live in a very dry area, you may feel drier after lasik. Most people will feel drier than usual for a few months after lasik surgery..
