Are there any risks for LASIK, PRK and RK?
Though there are some risks with any surgical procedure, the incidence of problems with these procedures is quite low. Also, each procedure presents specific risks and benefits. The most common side effect is seeing haloes or starbursts around lights, which everyone sees to a certain degree even without the surgery. Every possible measure will be taken to reduce the possibility of a problem after the procedure. We are a team of board-certified ophthalmologists, including a corneal specialist, who have spent our lives taking care of people eyes. We encourage you to talk to us about your concerns, and be rest assured that we have the experience to handle anything that may arise. – Niki A. Silverstein, M.D.
