More than one million patients undergo the LASIK procedure in the United States each year. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reports that LASIK eye surgery complications occur in 1 to 5 percent of cases. According to the FDA’s LASIK surgery statistics:

Glare and sensitivity to light affect 1.7 percent of LASIK patients.
Visual fluctuations occur in 2.6 percent of LASIK patients.
Halos around light sources are experienced by 3.5 percent of patients.
About 3 percent of patients report vision worse than before LASIK.

Talk to your local surgeon about his or her personal LASIK surgery statistics and typical results for patients. Laser eye surgery complications, statistics, and results do vary among surgeons so it is important to discuss your surgeon’s experience in the field.
