Risks of eye laser surgery
However, it must be remembered that laser eye surgery is also a medical procedure with all the associated risks. Especially recently, long-term reports have become increasingly known, from which it is clear that glare effects can sometimes occur at night and permanently dry eyes, up to a persistent “grain of sand feeling”. Therefore, it is also necessary to weigh up the actual degree of suffering and the risks one would be prepared to bear, because the operation cannot be reversed.
Costs of eye laser surgery
The costs of laser surgery for myopia must be borne by the patient himself, as the statutory health insurance companies do not contribute to the expenses. An average of €2000 per eye should be expected, provided there are no other complications such as as astigmatism or similar.
