Most patients are very pleased with the results of their refractive surgery.
However, like any other medical procedure, there are risks involved. That's why it is important for you to understand the limitations and possible complications of refractive surgery. Before undergoing a refractive procedure, you should carefully weigh the risks and benefits based on your own personal value system, and try to avoid being influenced by friends that have had the procedure or doctors encouraging you to do so. You may be undertreated or overtreated. You may require additional treatment, but additional treatment may not be possible.
