What are the side effects to having LASIK done?

A few possible side effects of LASIK includes flap-related complications, which includes a wide gamut of complications such as flap dislodgement, flap wrinkles, Sands of Sahara, flap infection, etc. During the flap cutting step of LASIK, multiple nerve endings will be severed and this may result in chronic dry eyes. Other complications which are common to LASIK and other laser vision correction procedures are under/over-correction, eye infection, corneal haze, etc.

Will cylindrical power subside after a spike due to epilasik surgery?

It is quite common to experience fluctuations during the initial recovery stage of your epiLASIK surgery. During this period, we will advise you to trust in the healing process. It is important for you to apply eye drops which have been prescribed and to stay away from strong sunlight. Your eye powers will take some time to settle down, but since it's been 10 days since your surgery, it's definitely still in the early days of recovery. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Are there any severe complications that require medical attention after getting my eye nevus removed?

We assume that you are referring to conjunctival nevus. The procedure in which the eye nevus is removed is quite straightforward in most cases. It involves a local excision involving eye drop anaesthesia. If the nevus is large, the eye surgeon may opt to do conjunctiva patch graft harvested from the under the eyelid or the other eye. The eye surgeon may elect to apply anti-scarring (Mitomycin C) agent to prevent post-op conjunctiva scarring. It is important to avoid exposure to sunlight for the first two months.
