Not all patients experience it but those who have dry eye before laser are much more likely to have a problem after. Many patients who experience dry eye will find over time they will see improvement in their post op dry eye symptoms. BUT, I have had patients who have had prolonged ongoing severe dry eye symptoms after laser. Although some of the happiest patients I have in my practice are my laser patients, I have a couple of patients who are MISERABLE with their post op dryness. SO ------ If you are doing quite well with your overall vision and are pretty happy with the status quo I would tend to discourage you from pursuing laser vision correction. If you are having significant problems with your current optical correction (such as problems with contact lenses or glasses that are extremely thick and heavy, etc.) then maybe the risk may be worth it. BUT, remember, once you have had laser and if your eyes do become extremely dry there won't be any going back. Hope this helped.
