Dry Eye After LASIK
Your LASIK surgery went well and your vision is
much improved. But your eyes are dry and itchy.
Dont be surprised. Dry eye is the most common
complication for LASIK. About 95 of people
report dry eye symptoms just after the procedure.
But LASIK itself isnt often the trigger for the
dry eye. Nearly half to three-quarters of the
people reporting dry eye had symptoms of it
before the surgery.
Dry eye after LASIK typically gets better over
time. But in rare cases, LASIK can lead to severe
and chronic dry eyes.

Will You Have Dry Eye?
While long-term dry eye is rare, theres no way
to predict whether youll have dry eye after
LASIK or how long the symptoms will last. But
certain things may make it more likely for you to
have dry eye after LASIK
You had dry eye before LASIK. You are female. You
are of Asian descent. You wear contacts. You have
diabetes. You were very nearsighted before LASIK
or had vision corrected to a high
degree. CONTINUE READING BELOW

Why Does LASIK Cause Dry Eye?
Researchers dont fully understand why this
happens, but they have some ideas. The surgery
can cause some corneal nerve damage. During the
procedure, the surgeon reshapes your cornea by
removing some of the tissue under it. In the
process, the surgeon cuts some of the nerves in
your cornea. That doesnt affect your vision. But
it may break down the communication between your
cornea and the tear glands for a while. This
usually returns to normal quickly.
Another possible cause is inflammation from the
surgery. Also, the new shape of your cornea may
change the way your eyelid interacts with the
surface of your eye. That may affect blinking or
tear production. And that can lead to dry eye.

How Long Will I Have Dry Eye?
For most people, dry eye symptoms are most
noticeable in the months right after surgery.
Most say it gets better in 6-12 months.

When to See a Doctor
Artificial tears and other standard treatments
for dry eye can work well after LASIK. If your
symptoms are mild, you can wait to talk about
them with your doctor during your next
appointment. But call your doctor immediately if
you feel severe pain or if your vision or other
symptoms get worse instead of better.
