Possible Side-Effects and Complications from Lasik Surgery
Posted by Michael Spector at Mar 10th, 2009 in Eye Surgery
Obviously all medical procedures have some sort of risk involved, but lasik vision correction tends to be one of the safest procedures you can have. One of the reason lasik is so popular is because it’s so safe. It’s also quick, and even the recovery time is short. Most importantly, it tends to be relatively painless. Unfortunately, the results can vary greatly, so be wary of anyone offering a 20/20 vision money back guarantee. Don’t misunderstand, most patients have 20/20 vision after their first surgery, with some needing a second treatment after about 3 months.
Take some time to talk over the risks and potential complications that may folllow your surgery with your doctor. If you’re not completely comfortable, dont’ go forward. It is an elective procedure and for most people it’s not something compeltely necessary. These are some of the more common side effects patients will experience.
Over or Under Correction - This simply means the correction was too weak or too strong. The good news is, this is usually correctable with a later enhancement.
Eye Dryness - Within the first 3-6 months, a very common side-effect is some sort of dry eye condition. Most likely, your doctor will treat this with eye drops designed to lubricate your eyes.
Eye Sensitivity - This is usually a sensitivity to strong glares. Even though these symptoms may go away with time, you should let your doctor know.
Blurry Vision - If you start to experience blurry vision, let your doctor know right away. It’s not something you need to be alarmed with as it will usually go away in time.
Infection - If this happens, your doctor will notice it right away and put you on a good dose of antibiotics. This happens about 1 out of every 4000 procedures, so your risk is low.
Superficial Scaring - This could be one of the outcomes from an infection. It is treatable with a future procedure.
Thin Cornea - With lasik vision, doctors figure there will be some degree of thinning of the cornea and they figure this into the procedure. The chance of this happening to you is about 1 in 10,000.
I’ll say it again, lasik vision correction is extremely safe and well refined. It’s still extremely important for you to get a full consultation with your doctor before moving on with surgery. Once you’re comfortable with your doctor and any associated risks with the procedure, move forward with confidence.

“Own Your Choices [ownyourc.com] is claimed to be the “first-ever choice making community”. At first, the website was part of the Own your C campaign, and meant to encourage teens not to smoke. Currently, it aims to reveal how personal choices affect others and characterize one’s self. In particular, the website focuses on starting the conversation around topics such as tobacco, health, self-image, culture, alcohol, relationships and school. Users are invited to connect with peers on these issues, to share their opinion and influence the conversation. And by accident, the interface seems driven by simple dynamic graphs of the statists resulting from the data-gathering surveys.” - information aesthetics

I believe we are all equal under the law, and as such, we should all be treated equally under the law. So, my bracket is simple: first 30K is tax-exempt (15K poverty line; 10K health care; 5K education). Any and all income above 30K is taxed at a universal flat rate. Instead of having one law (or one rate) to benefit one group over another (inequality under the law for an attempted equally of outcome), we all feel the same pain. We all have the same rate and deductions (equality under the law).
