Discover whether you will need reading glasses after undergoing LASIK surgery and how to care for your eyes post-procedure.

Dry Eye is a common side effect of LASIK vision correction, often caused by a decrease in tear production due to the reduced sensitivity of corneal nerves post-surgery. This can lead to insufficient lubrication and protection for the eyes, resulting in irritation. While Dry Eye is typically temporary after LASIK, some patients may experience symptoms for an extended period. Using lubricating eye-drops can provide relief from discomfort.
