As with any surgical procedure, there are some risks and side effects. Serious complications are far less than 1%. Most problems are treatable or temporary. Some of the possible complications include flap scars or slippage, epithelial ingrowth, under or over correction, corneal haze, infection, ghosting or halos. It is possible to have decreased contrast sensitivity. The refractive technicians and Dr. Kiley will discuss these in more detail on the consult visit.
