What Is The Risk Of A Complication During Laser Eye Surgery?
This is a difficult question to answer because it is like any other medical procedure. The risk of a complication during Laser Eye Surgery depends on who is doing the surgery. In expert hands, the surgery is exceedingly safe. It has been said to be the safest surgical procedure that we do. Certainly Laser Eye Surgery is now the most common surgical procedure on the planet. Of all procedures of the whole body, it is the one that is performed most commonly.
Laser Eye Surgery Risks Explained Further…
Laser Eye Surgery is safe but no surgery is entirely without some level of risk. The fact is that an expert surgeon will have the knowledge to manage complications properly and will often be able to correct any complications that do occur. In the hands of an expert surgeon, the chance of something going noticeably wrong is around one in 1,000 procedures. The chance of a surgeon facing a situation he or she would not be able to improve, or correct satisfactorily, is about one in 30,000.

It’s amazing to wake up in the morning and be able to see without trying to find my glasses!” -Fiona Davis. Go back
