Patients that undergo laser refractive surgery may have dry eye after surgery. Additionally, the refractive correction can shift over time. You should discuss this and the potential risks and complications of surgery with your ophthalmic surgeon.

Usually it is safe but yes you can get side effects like dry eyes, Retinal detachments, floaters or eye surface defects due to the laser surgery.
