Do you have dry eyes? |
People with dry eyes who undergo laser surgery to correct their vision
Researchers followed 290 patients who had "definite" or "probable" dry eyes
before LASIK surgery. In the year after surgery, the patients with dry eyes
saw the same vision improvement as other patients. But their dry-eye
symptoms were worse throughout the year, according to the study.
Those who did not have dry eyes before the surgery only
experienced temporary dryness for about a month afterward. |
In the LASIK surgery, a thin layer of tissue is removed from the cornea to reshape it
and correct near- or far-sighted vision. Those with dry eyes often desire the surgery
because wearing contact lenses is uncomfortable, but the study cautions that,
with LASIK, their dry eyes may persist or even worsen. |
