The initial phase of lasik surgery, that is, the pre-consultation and screening is just as important as the surgery itself. This is because without it , many people who shouldn't really be on the table under the surgeon's laser will slip through the system.

Yes, you need to qualify for lasik. Despite the expensive nature of this procedure it's not simply a walk up start to receive treatment. That's why we say if you don't receive a thorough analysis during pre-screening then run a mile. If you get the feeling you're being rushed through because it's a question of dollars then you're in the wrong place.

What If You Don't Qualify?

If you are not qualified for Lasik eye surgery, you may qualify for a number of other procedures that could also help you. The qualifying procedure is very important because it establishes the workability of the procedure on your eyes and on your person.

If you do not qualify for this procedure, do not attempt to find a way around it or visit a less reputed surgeon to do the procedure anyway. You will be denied qualification for a proper medical reason and you should not toy with this reasoning because it is in place for your own protection. Without the qualification procedure, the risk factor increases by a significant degree.

If you qualify for Lasik eye surgery, your doctor will make you aware of some of the Lasik eye surgery complications that resonate with your case. From there, with the knowledge of the Lasik eye surgery complications in your mind, you can make a final decision on the procedure and elect to have or negate the procedure.

If you decide on Lasik eye surgery and the procedure is a great success, you have the process to thank for the safety of yourself throughout the procedure and the success of the procedure as a whole.

How Safe Is Lasik?

It's extremely safe although a small percentage of patients will suffer complications from lasik surgery. The majority of the complications are minor and can be rectified with follow up treatment. One of the keys to a safe and happy experience is choosing a competent and experienced surgeon who definitely has their patient's interest at heart.

This article is not intended to scare you into oblivion regarding Lasik but more to make you aware that complication with Lasik can and does occur. How often? Well, the percentages are extremely small and if you're feeling a little apprehensive at the moment then simply weigh up the benefits against the negatives.

Rest assured, if your surgeon doesn't discuss the possibility of Lasik eye surgery complication during the pre=screening phase then put on your running shoes and head out of there as fast as you can.

Lasik Eye Surgery Complications

Let's take a look at complication issues but before we do, here's a quick recap of what is involved with this procedure.

Basically, a small flap is cut in the front covering of the eye or cornea.  The flap is lifted so that the eye may be reshaped by the laser and then the flap is replaced as a type of bandage. It's cut using a type of bladed instrument called a “microkeratome” or else with a laser.

The type of technology used will depend on the surgeon but it's generally regarded that the laser offers less chance of complication. Here are some possible complications which may occur:

- the flap may not be cut correctly and it may fail to form properly to the surface of the eye or...

- a flap which is cut too thinly can also cause issues such as wrinkling upon the attempt to adhere the flap to the surface of the eye.

The result of the above problems could be responsible for an irregularly shaped eye surface and in time may lead to astigmatism or blurry vision.

Epithelial Ingrowth

Epithelial ingrowth is not a term familiar to most prospective eye surgery patients but it's something you should discuss with your surgeon. While it's not serious it can be nuisance value and basically means the patient could experience the following:

- visual aberrations
- experiencing glared vision
- light sensitivity
- double vision
- loss of contrast sensitivity

Retreating the problem area of the eye is the normal course of action although treatment with eye drops is also possible. It depends how serious the complications are.

Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis

Reaction to dead cells under the eye flap is another Lasik eye surgery complication known as Diffuse Lamellar Keratitis. This complication is potentially serious because it can lead to blindness if not treated immediately. The reaction of the eye to the dead cells is usually noticed via inflammation.

Treatment involves antibiotics or steroids. This is one of the complications your surgeon will speak to you about but don't get too hung up about it until you've had it explained to you in more detail. Just make sure you discuss possible complication issues.
