Can I go blind after LASIK Eye Surgery?
According to the FDA, there have been no reported cases of a patient going blind due to LASIK Eye Surgery. In the worst case scenario, which is extremely rare (approximately 1 in 2000 cases) a patient would require a corneal transplant to correct a LASIK complication. The potentially serious complications including :
- Thin Flap
- Flap Wrinkles
- Central Corneal Islands
- Epithelial Ingrowth
- Haze Under The Flap
- Dislocated Corneal Flap
- Permanent Uncorrectable Blurry Vision Or Ghost Images
- Retinal Hemorrhage Or Damage To The Optic Never
- Infection
- Corneal Ectasia
The above complications are all rare and can usually be successfully treated. However, treatment may not completely correct these, or other problems, and the patient could, rarely, experience a permanent, non-treatable decrease in their best-corrected vision after LASIK.
