Risks exist in medicine, but the risks of laser treatment are exceptionally small.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, current lasers and preoperative measurement equipment provide predictable postoperative results in more than 99.5% of cases. Complications can occur, but are rare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The risk of blindness is virtually zero.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Minor complications are estimated at less than 0.8% according to the SNOF (Syndicat National des Ophtalmologues de France).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Laser surgery has been around for over thirty years, since the 1990s. Lasers have improved greatly since then, with precision down to the micron, since the 2000s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition, technological advances in corneal topography allow us to perform highly accurate preoperative examinations, allowing us to select suitable candidates and achieve results of nearly 100% satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, every procedure carries risks of side effects and possible complications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A feeling of dryness is common after laser treatment in the first months. This is usually well tolerated with artificial tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The risk of infection is exceptional and is about 1 in 3000 cases. An antibiotic drop is prescribed to prevent this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some patients describe light halos, often in people who were photophobic before the procedure, with a light colored iris and large physiological pupils. This side effect usually resolves spontaneously after about 1 month in the vast majority of cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is an absolute contraindication for the laser, namely a pathological cornea in the shape of a cone (keratoconus) due to its anatomical structure and its fragility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For about 15 years, preoperative measuring devices have been able to effectively detect these cases of exclusion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since 1987, when excimer gas lasers were introduced, lasers have become more efficient and faster, but the principle of sculpting the cornea remains the same.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Worldwide, approximately 1 million people per year undergo laser surgery to eliminate their dependence on glasses or lenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The risk of complete loss of vision is so rare that there are no statistical data on it in the literature to date.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
