Could You Be A Candidate For LASIK Eye Surgery?

Everything you need to know about lasik @ http://laserforeyes.info/

 

You forgot this part to know:

LASIK Complications:
· Aniseikonia (difference in image size between the two eyes)
· Anisometropia
· Anterior Chamber Perforations
· Aquarium Vision
· Arcing
· BCVA (loss of)
· Blindness
· Branch Retinal Vein Occlusion
· Cataract Formation
· Central Islands
· Central Toxic Keratopathy
· Contrast Sensitivity Loss
· Corneal Abrasions
· Corneal Necrosis
· Corneal Perforation
· Corneal Scars
· Corneal Thinning
· Corneal Ulcers
· Decompensated Strabismus
· Decentered Ablation
· Depth Perception (loss of)
· Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis (DLK, Sands of Sahara)
· Dry Eyes
· Ectasia
· Edema
· Endothelial Cell Loss
· Epithelial Ingrowth
· Epithelial Sloughing
· Flap Buttonhole
· Flap Decentered
· Flap Unfolding
· Flap Melt
· Flap Striae and Wrinkles
· Flap Subluxation
· Fluctuating Vision
· Foreign Body Sensation
· GASH
· Ghosting
· Glare
· Haloes
· Haze
· Headache
· Hyperopic Shift
· Incomplete Cut, resulting in irregular astigmatism
· Induced Aberrations
· Induced Astigmatism
· Infectious Keratitis
· Interface Debris
· Interface Keratitis (infectious and non-infectious, early and
late onset)
· Irregular Astigmatism
· Irregular Wound Healing
· Loss of Flap
· Microperforations
· Monocular Diplopia
· Muscle Spasms
· Nerve Fiber Damage and/or Thinning
· Night Vision Loss
· Nocturnal glare
· Optic Nerve Infarction
· Optic Nerve Neuropathy
· Overcorrection
· Pain (persistent)
· Palebral fissures (expanding induced),
· Photophobia (undesirable visual sensations produced by bright
lights)
· Progressive Hyperopia
· Psychological Problems (induced or exacerbated)
· Ptsopis (droopy eyelid)
· Quality of Life (loss of)
· Reading Problems
· Recurrent Erosion
· Regression (both naturally occurring and induced via hypoxia)
· Retinal breaks/tears/macular holes
· Retinal Detachment
· Scarring
· Starbursts
· Steroid Induced Glaucoma
· Trigeminal Neuralgia
· Undercorrection
· Uneven Pupil Sizes
· Visual Field Defects
· Vitreous Detachment (Floaters)


Future Induced Difficulties:
· IOL Calculation Difficulties
· Difficulty detecting Glaucoma Onset
· Induced Contact Lens Intolerance
· Increased susceptability to ocular trauma (i.e. late flap
dislocation)


And now there's concern that laser-thinned corneas are susceptible to
glaucoma.
LASIK damages every eye.


Let's have a round of applause for the FDA panel who approved this
procedure.

Follow-up to Ace's comments:

In order to determine your suitability, and to avoid potential LASIK
complications, the best way is to get screened and tested prior to
undergoing surgery. The site http://laserforeyes.info has a ton of
information about LASIK including complications...
