What is LASIK surgery? This surgery can be dangerous for these people.

Side effects of LASIK surgery: LASIK surgery (Laser-Assisted in Situ Keratomileusis) is an eye laser surgery done to improve vision. It is especially for those people who suffer from nearsightedness (myopia), farsightedness (hyperopia), and astigmatism (inequality in the roundness of the eyes).

In this surgery, the shape of the cornea (outer layer of the eye) is corrected using a laser, so that the light can focus correctly on the retina. This process is fast, safe, and painless, which improves the vision of the patients.

This surgery is very effective, but it may not be safe for some people. In this article, we are telling you about those people who should not get Lasik surgery.

People under 18 years of age:

The minimum age for LASIK surgery is set at 18 years. This is because the eye's vision and cornea (the outer part of the eye) do not fully develop until a person is 18 years old. If a person undergoes surgery before then, there may be changes in their eye vision, which can later affect the results.

Pregnant or breastfeeding women:

Pregnant and breastfeeding women should avoid LASIK surgery, as hormonal changes can affect the eye's vision and the structure of the cornea. Vision may change after surgery during this time, which may make the results unstable. Women who are pregnant or who are breastfeeding should not undergo LASIK surgery.

People with serious eye diseases:

People who suffer from serious eye problems, such as glaucoma, a cracked cornea, or dry eyes, should not undergo LASIK surgery. These diseases can make it difficult to recover properly after surgery and can worsen the condition of the eyes. If you have serious eye diseases, you should not undergo LASIK surgery.

People with unstable vision:

People who are experiencing frequent changes in their vision (due to age or other reasons) should wait until their eye condition stabilizes before LASIK surgery. Stability of vision is necessary so that the results of the surgery are better and permanent.

People suffering from any other health problem:

If a person has conditions such as autoimmune diseases, communicable diseases, or diabetes, they may not be treated properly during and after LASIK surgery, which can hurt eye health. It is worth noting that it is very important to consult a qualified doctor before LASIK surgery. The doctor will give you proper advice keeping in mind your eye condition, health history, and lifestyle. This can reduce the risks of surgery and improve the results.
