Are there any side effects after laser eye surgery?
There are side effects after having laser surgery, the immediate ones being sensitivity to light, and a gritty feeling that may make you want to keep your eyes closed. These of course will pass over time. You may also experience things like halos or starbursts around light sources at night, floaters, wrinkling of the flap (striae), surgery induced dry eyes or as previously mentioned on here, overcorrection or undercorrection, however these are all side effects that will mostly disappear over time, except in the case of over or undercorrection. You don’t say how old you are, so I’m going under the assumption that you’re in your early 20’s. This is a good time to have corrective surgery but it is important to note that the “life span” of any corrective surgery is about 7-10 years before you start to notice that presriptive help is required again, and depending on the type of surgery you have, you may not be able to have it done again, so it may be a good idea to leave it a few more years
