For many people, LASER eye surgery changes their lives for the better. However, Dry eye is a common complication of LASER surgery. Often it is temporary but for some it persists and causes a chronic problem.
When you have LASER surgery the corneal nerves are cut when the flap is cut either by the microtome or by the LASER. These nerves send signals to the lacrimal glands telling them to release the aqueous into the tears. Without this innervation the glands may not produce enough aqueous and the eye can become very dry.
Often the people who have chronic dry eye post LASER report symptoms of dry eye before the surgery. We would advise clients who may have mild Dry Eye prior to LASER surgery to consider the risks before having surgery and potentially damaging the glands further. At the Dry Eye Centre we see many patients who have had LASER surgery. In many cases like this, it is not possible to correct the cause of the Dry Eye so we regularly monitor and treat the symptoms. After an initial assessment, we devise a tailored treatment program based on your unique needs.

Hi there would you mind sharing which blog platform you're using? I'm going to start my own blog soon but I'm having a difficult time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design seems different then most blogs and I'm looking for something completely unique. P.S Apologies for getting off-topic but I had to ask!laser spine surgeon
