Almost all people who undergo LASIK surgery to correct their vision will experience dry eye at least for a while.
“With LASIK, there is damage to the surface of the eye that can affect tear production,” says Cushing. “Part of it is probably because nerves are cut and they are part of what tells the eyes to produce tears. It’s like a feedback mechanism.”
Fortunately, this type of dry eye is usually mild and only lasts three to six months. Still, it’s important to get proper treatment as treating the dry eye will make sure the LASIK procedure is as successful as possible.
Dry eye can also result from other surgeries that affect the cornea (as LASIK does) and even from cosmetic surgery that involves the eyelids.
