Before considering LASIK, understand the long-term risks most clinics don't openly discuss.

LASIK is marketed as a permanent fix for vision problems — yet thousands of people experience complications that aren’t mentioned in ads or consultations.

If you live in Borivali, Kandivali, Malad or Dahisar, here are the facts you must know before opting for LASIK.

1. 20% develop chronic dry eyes after LASIK

The corneal nerves are cut during surgery. Tear production reduces permanently for many people, leading to irritation and long-term dryness.

2. LASIK may increase early cataract risk

Some clinical studies show patients needing cataract surgery earlier due to laser-induced corneal changes.

3. Up to 30% return to glasses after 8–10 years

Regression is common, and reading glasses are still needed after a certain age.

💰 Because it’s extremely profitable.

A 15–20 minute procedure with very high margins. Once the laser equipment is purchased, every surgery generates massive revenue with minimal cost.

This is why ads make LASIK appear “perfect” even though complications are well-documented.
