	'''LASIK''' surgery is a [[refractive state]] correction done on the surface of the [[cornea]]. A laser is used to cut open the surface layer of the eye, and then parts of the cornea are removed to change it's shape. LASIK does NOT reduce your risks of eye diseases associated with [[Myopia]], you still have long eyeballs and the associated issues with fluid pressure in your eye. LASIK does increase your risk of getting [[cataracts]], which requires lens replacement surgery, which has its own elevated risk factors (such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_detachment ''Retinal Detachment'']).		'''LASIK''' surgery, and similar procedures, are a [[refractive state]] "correction" done on the surface of the [[cornea]]. A laser is used to cut open the surface layer of the eye, and then parts of the cornea are removed to change it's shape. These changes are irreversible. LASIK does '''NOT''' reduce your risks of eye diseases associated with [[Myopia]], you still have long eyeballs and the associated issues with fluid pressure in your eye. LASIK does '''NOT''' resolve the cause of myopia and therefore does not ensure you will not need correction again in the future. LASIK does increase your risk of getting [[cataracts]], which requires lens replacement surgery, which has its own elevated risk factors (such as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Retinal_detachment ''Retinal Detachment'']). As well as carrying risk of other complications that vary in severity and are also irreversible..

	Although ~~most~~ people getting the surgery are happy with it, there are some serious long term complications. Talk to your [[optometrist]] if you have complications from LASIK such as [[dry eye]], halos and /or [[floaters]]. Unfortunately, LASIK complications are irreversible. Risk of infection is also a consideration. In rare cases, LASIK complications have led to severe [[depression]] and suicide.
