The National Medical Director of Oftalvist Clinics, Dr. Pedro Tañá, resolves this frequent question in patients who decide to undergo laser refractive surgery to correct their myopia, hyperopia and/or astigmatism.
What are the risks of laser refractive surgery?
Today, lasik refractive surgery is considered to be one of the safest surgeries in the human body, which does not mean that it is without risk. There has been talk of an infection for every 10,000 patients operated on.
If it is done with Lasik, we speak of a flap displacement in an exceptional way and always after a trauma.
There is talk of a corneal ectasia, that is, inducing an iatrogenic keratoconus in patients in whom we excessively weaken the cornea.
That is why it is so important to maintain the limits and that is why it is so important to determine the normality of the cornea prior to surgery and to avoid any factor that poses a risk of increasing infections such as saunas, swimming pools... in the pre and postoperative.
