Laser Eye Procedure complications

Patients should do their research, pick a good, experienced surgeon, and discuss the potential risks, complications, and side effects associated with LASIK in order to make the most informed decision.

LASIK COMPLICATIONS AND SIDE EFFECTS

We at Shroff Eye appreciate the concerns about the procedure. These are your healthy normal eyes! That is why we use the best in everything to deliver successful results!

Complications of LASIK come from 4 sources:-

  • Doctors Inexperience.

    Our advantage: Dr Anand Shroff is the only eye surgeon from India training over 100 doctors every year in Germany from world over on our technology. He is one of the longest experienced LASIK surgeons in India. Since Dr Anand is also primarily a corneal surgeon doing corneal transplants for many years even before doing LASIK, it helps us give excellent results. We have never had any problems surgically.

  • Older Technology

    Our advantage: We have always offered the best available of that time to our patients because we value their eyes. Today, the laser we use is 5 times more expensive than other lasers available in value, however, we chose to offer the best in the world to our patients at a cost which is one fourth of what it is available in the other 6 places in the world viz. Germany, Switzerland, Finland, Japan and Kuwait. Complications of LASIK include those from the technology like night vision problems. Since our laser system is most advanced it has zero night vision trouble. In fact with our experience and reputation we have corrected complications of other centers.

  • Center not having strict infection controls

    Our advantage: We are the only eye hospital in India to be certified by the highest Healthcare body from JCAHO, USA. The committee gave the hospital a special certificate for exemplary performance in infection control. We have had ZERO cases of infection and are using complete disposables for the procedure.

  • Patient not the ideal candidate

    Our advantage: A thorough check up with the doctor himself. Other complications are more consequences of doing LASIK on an unsuitable candidate such as one who has dry eyes. So, dry eyes are another problem that you will read about. Again in our center, we check each and every patient quantitatively with a special dry eye test. If any patient is found to have dry eyes, then depending on the severity appropriate treatment is advised to the patients. For mild to moderate dry eyes we suggest Epi LASIK, a new procedure that you can read about on our website www.lasikindia.in

    The only thing that we prepare our patients for is the event of needing a fine tuning of the treatment. This is rare, but still seen because, in spite of having done our best and taken all predictable objectives, we still cannot predict body healing. It sometimes can heal leaving behind a small number. In our experience we have seen upto 0.75 D usually. However, this is treatable and we offer to re treat this number free of cost in the first year. Hence, it only means that in rare cases LASIK may be in two steps. The rate of this re treatment or fine tuning in our center is less than 0.4% which in most centers is upto 20%. Other than this, we have not faced any other issues.
