There are always risks associated with surgical procedures; refractive surgery is no different. Severe complications are rare with corrective eye surgery, but they still can occur. Major improvements in refractive surgery have taken place in the instrumentation and knowledge, while experienced refractive surgeons have refined the procedure to the point where the risks are minimized. A thorough explanation of risks is discussed during the consultation and exam.
