Dr. Rajesh Khanna discusses dry eyes and usually temporary halos or glare around lights as common LASIK side effects. These are important questions to raise before surgery. In this short video, Dr. Khanna of Khanna Vision Institute in Beverly Hills explains the concerns in plain language.
What are the common side effects of LASIK?
In the video, Dr. Khanna explains common risks and side effects of LASIK eye surgery, including dry eyes and usually temporary halos or glare around lights. Understanding potential side effects is part of making an informed decision. Symptoms, healing and results vary, so the video offers general education rather than advice about your individual eyes.
What do dry eyes after LASIK mean for me?
Dry eye is one of the side effects Dr. Khanna names first. Discuss any existing dryness or irritation during your consultation. The evaluation helps determine whether LASIK may be appropriate or whether another option may better suit your eyes.
Are halos and glare permanent?
Dr. Khanna describes the halos and glare around lights as usually temporary. How noticeable these symptoms are and how long they last can vary. Your surgeon will discuss the risks and what you may expect before you make a decision.
How do I know if LASIK is right for me?
Your LASIK consultation at Khanna Vision Institute is free and begins the process of determining whether LASIK may be appropriate. If a more detailed evaluation is needed, the team will explain the VIP lifestyle exam before anything is scheduled. Khanna Vision Institute has performed more than 25,000 vision procedures, and that experience includes recognizing when LASIK is not the best option.
