Like any surgery there are always potential risks, which in general have diminished as the laser refractive surgery has advanced over the past twenty five years. Refractive laser surgery has continued to evolve becoming safer and more precise over these past 25 years. Depending who the surgeon is and how he does the surgery there can be less successful surgery or very safe surgery.

Laser surgery is not a fixed product like an iPhone or a can of diet coke. No matter where you buy that coke or iPhone you will get the same product. But laser surgery is not a fixed product. It is a surgical procedure whose performance vary with the surgeon and the tools he offers.

There are three genetic types of surgery: PRK (or LASEK), blade lasik and the most advanced no blade LASIK. All three vary in nature and risk as well as varying with the surgeon and his tools. Confused?
