Having very dry eyes, I was concerned about this being a problem. I was assured that my eyes weren't nearly as dry as some people and each doctor felt that I was a good candidate for the surgery. I continued to explore all of the information that I could find before making a decision. I learned that there are many people who were completely satisfied with the surgery. On the other hand, there are also people who have reported regrets.
Problems range from severe dry eyes, irritation, blurry, distorted vision and glare.
Many people will need reading glasses following the surgery and some have to go back for more surgery to reach near perfect vision. All things considered, I was beginning to feel that this surgery was a good option for me. One advantage I had was that my near sightedness was in the low range. It is believed that people with higher corrections have a greater risk of complications. It is important to know that people with certain immune diseases are not good candidates for the surgery.
