Overcorrection & undercorrection - Predicting perfectly how your eye will respond to laser surgery is not yet possible. Therefore, you may still need corrective lenses after the procedure to obtain good vision. In some cases, a second procedure can be done to improve the result.
-
The halos & glare effect is an optical effect that is noticed in dim light. When the pupil enlarges to adapt to the dimmer light, a second faded image is produced by the untreated peripheral cornea. For some patients who have undergone PRK or LASIK, this can interfere with night driving.
-
Dry eyes after LASIK is normal during the immediate postoperative recovery. Symptoms include burning and irritation. While a nuisance, it generally is not a clinically serious condition. Only very rarely can severe dryness lead to permanent vision loss by creating a permissive environment for corneal infection and scarring.
-
Orthokeratology - Ortho-K is the use of hard contact lenses (RGP lenses), normally worn only at night, to gradually improve vision through the reshaping of the cornea. This method can be used as an alternative to LASIK by those desiring to not have to wear lenses during the day.
-
Contact Lens - thin plastic lens worn between the eye and eyelid that may be used instead of eyeglasses. Actors, models, and others wear them for appearance, and athletes use them for safety and convenience. Contact lenses may also be used to correct certain abnormalities of the eye that cannot be corrected by regular glasses.
-
Healthy vision is related to the health of the individual parts of the eye – the cornea, iris, macula, lens, optic nerve, pupil, retina and the vitreous humor. And making good ocular nutrition and eye health food choices are one of the ways that good vision can be supported.

We must exercise our eyes to keep them healthy. Some say doing regular eye exercise can improve our vision too.

Floaters and Their Treatment with Chinese Herbs - Floaters are rarely caused by release of materials into the eye, they are a result of natural processes that may be exacerbated or accelerated by overexposure to sunlight, poor circulation in the retina, and lack of hydration, along with deficiency of yin essence and associated flaring of deficiency heat or accumulation of damp-heat. - posted on 3 Dec 2005

Floaters are actually cellular debris within the vitreous, the jelly-like fluid that fills the inside of the eye. These objects appear to be in front of the eye, but they are really floating in this fluid, and at the same time, casting their shadows on the retina, the light sensing inner layer of the eye. - posted on 30 Nov 2005

LASEK appears to be a safe and effective technique for enhancement in eyes that had previously been treated with LASIK. It is less invasive than a LASIK enhancement, reported Johnny L. Gayton, MD, during the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery (ASCRS) meeting. - posted on 26 Nov 2005

Being an Asian myself, I find this survey is quite interesting. A survey is done to find out the different outcomes between Asian and Caucasian eyes. And the results show that "The risk of chronic dry eye after LASIK was significantly higher in Asian eyes."- posted on 1 Nov 2005
