What Are The Risks Of Laser Eye Surgery?

Dear doctor

I use spectacles and have also tried contact lens before. but now because of my job where i have to travel a lot taking care of my lens and spectacles has become a problem.
I want to go for Laser surgery but I don't know about risks involved with it and the guarantee of its success. I would also like to know the exact figure of the surgery.
thank you

Hello
Welcome to health care magic.

I reviewed your history.
It seems from the history that you are having refractive error and you want to undergo laser refractive surgery in the form of LASIK and you want to know about associated complications.
LASIK is very safe procedure but few complications which can be seen are over correction, under correction, infection and corneal thinning.
However if LASIK is done with proper evaluation complications are rare.

Hope this information is helpful to you.

Thank you
