What are the risks associated with CK?
CK is a very safe procedure. The complications from CK surgery tend to be less frequent and less serious than complications from other surgeries because the CK surgery takes place in the cornea, at the front of the eye, and not near the delicate tissues inside the eye. However, like any surgery, there can be complications, for example, an acute infection or inflammation. Additionally, as it is not possible to exactly predict the healing response of each individual person, there is the possibility that the resulting vision will be less than expected.
