What are the risks?

Just as any other surgical procedure, Z-LASIK may have undesirable side effects. A few patients suffer from dry eyes after surgery. This complication, however, occurs much more often with conventional methods. In most cases, moisturizing eye drops provide relief for dry eyes. The eye’s lubrication normalizes quickly.

Since every eye does not respond the same to the laser, your vision might be slightly over- or undercorrected despite extremely precise performance. Such deviations can be corrected in a follow-up treatment a few weeks later.
