Lasik (Laser Eye Surgery) Complications

About Laser Eye Surgery Complications

Post-Lasik woes have surfaced hand-in-hand with the approval in the late 1990s of the first excimer laser for Lasik eye surgery by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Since then, the procedure has become one of the most popular elective ophthalmologic procedures in the world. The global personalized Lasik surgery market is estimated to reach US$3.69 billion (about S$5 billion) by 2022, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc.

While studies have shown that the surgery is usually safe and effective, fresh concerns about its potential risks, including impaired vision and chronic pain, were raised. This dataset contains reports of complications reported by different users to FDA over a period of time.
