Certainly. The most common side-effect after LASIK or any form of laser-refractive surgery to the cornea, is loss of contrast sensitivity, and glares and haloes that are worse at night-time. It is very rare for patients to be completely disabled by them, and for some patients it is more obvious than for others. Some people rarely experience significant dry-eye symptoms after surgery, however this is rare, especially in young patients.
For the majority of patients however, they may experience temporary dry eye symptoms that disappear after 1-2 weeks (longer in patients who are older). The glares / haloes also usually improve rapidly after the first 2-3 months.
