LASIK may reduce the need for glasses or contact lenses in suitable patients. Results vary, and some people still need glasses, additional treatment, or reading correction as they age.

Potential risks include dry eye, glare, halos, and reduced quality of vision. Some symptoms can persist. A surgeon should discuss your individual risks, alternatives, expected recovery, and costs.
