Over two decades of advancements in laser eye surgery have helped minimize LASIK surgery side effects. Most side effects improve over time as the eye heals and stabilizes. Dry eye can be a laser eye surgery side effect. If dryness is a problem after LASIK, Dr. Parker can treat the condition with prescription drops or punctual plugs, which help your eyes retain natural tears. Sometimes patients notice glare and halos at night, which also improve as vision stabilizes. Poor nighttime vision was a more common laser eye surgery side effect with previous technologies. Through the detailed measurements of the WaveScan system used at Eye Care Specialists, night glare and halos are minimized and usually resolve over 3 to 6 months.
