What are common causes of a red eye on one side that occurs every morning in an otherwise healthy individual, and how can I treat it?

In my clinic, patients with borderline LASIK suitability test results using cornea topography and tomography (i. e. cornea mapping) are usually carefully counselled before options presented for consideration. The possible options, depending on the post-LASIK ectasia risk profile, are: LASIK-EXTRA, LASEK, LASEK-EXTRA and ICL (implantable contact lens). SMILE-EXTRA had been tried out before too, although currently it is still much rarer than the other options, due to limited experience in the medical community.

iLASIK falls into the category of LASIK surgery which is performed using the IntraLase iFS Advanced Femtosecond Laser to cut a corneal flap and Star S4 IR Excimer Laser to reshape the cornea, thus correcting refractive errors. Patients with had undergone iLASIK (or LASIK surgeries in general) should only participate in rugged or contact sports with caution. This is because there is still a risk of possible corneal flap complications especially when you engage in sporting activities, such as flap-dislodgement, flap wrinkles, etc.
