Does LASIK Improves Patients Lives? - FDA Review

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) plans to review whether LASIK, laser eye surgery, is really improving patients lives. FDA says that the move is in response to a number of concerns raised about patient satisfaction with the procedure.

Complications that patients can experience from LASIK include dry eyes, glare, double vision, an increased risk of inflammation or infection in the cornea, and rarely blindness.

An FDA advisory panel will hold a public meeting that will focus on patients' quality of life after surgery.
