Corneal flap concerns:sometimes the cornea may also not heal properly and quickly. The complete healing of the cornea depends and differs from patients to patient. Some patients may have their cornea healed within months while for some it may take longer period, the improper healing of the cornea may also lead to diseases like corneal ectasia dislocation that may cause dislocation of the corneal flap.

Side effect:

Dry eyes: one of the most common side effects of Lasik surgery is dry eye and generally patients experience dry eyes after a period of six months after the surgery and the main reason behind this is the negative effect of the surgery on the natural functioning of the eye nerves. This negative effect of surgery also reduces the ability of the eye to produce natural tears and moisture automatically or when needed.
Vision disturbances: the another side effect of this surgery is visual disturbances in the vision like seeing starbursts, double vision, halos and some abnormalities. Sometimes people may even experience night blindness. These effects are not solely due to the surgery but also due to excessive work or driving constantly after the surgery. But with the coming up of the newer laser technology these types of side effects has been totally removed as lasers are more precise and effective in nature. And consulting with the doctors at right time can also prevent you from diseases.
