Q: What are the most common side effects of LASIK surgery?

The most common side effects reported by patients are light sensitivity and halos around bright lights in dim light situations. Most patients complain for oncoming headlights as very bothersome during the first couple weeks after surgery. Also working at a computer during the first week may cause excessive tiredness of the eyes. You may experience a scratchy feeling similar to if a foreign body were in your eye. This is generally relieved with artificial tears.
