Laser Eye Surgery Complications The occurrence of a complication due to laser eye surgery may or may not lead to a poor visual outcome. However, in the event a complication does occur, and it leads to an unsatisfactory visual outcome, this would mean that your vision could be blurred, doubled, distorted, or have halos or other disturbances, and these may NOT be correctable with eye glasses or contact lenses. In the event this should happen, your LASIK surgeon will discuss and offer you advice on further treatment, which may involve medications or additional laser eye surgery. If the outcome cannot be corrected by medications or more external surface corneal surgery, the only way of restoring the vision may be a corneal transplant. It is believed that with current techniques and technology, the combined risk of all causes of a corneal transplant being necessary is approximately one in 10,000 or less.
