Safety is the most important consideration when evaluating any surgical procedure. LASIK has one of the most extensively studied safety profiles of any elective surgery — and the data is highly reassuring.
Global Safety Statistics
- More than 45 million LASIK procedures have been performed worldwide since 1991
- The rate of serious complications is less than 0.1%
- 95–98% of patients achieve their target vision (6/6 or better)
- Blindness from LASIK is extremely rare — no documented cases of permanent blindness from LASIK alone
- US-FDA approved since 1999 with continuous technology updates
Common Temporary Side Effects
- Dry eyes — managed with artificial tear drops (4–6 weeks)
- Halos or glare around lights at night — improves within 1–3 months
- Mild light sensitivity — resolves within 24–48 hours
