Dry Eye After LASIK
Your LASIK surgery went well and your vision is much improved. But your 
eyes are dry and itchy. Don’t be surprised. Dry eye is the most common 
complication for LASIK. About 95% of people report dry eye symptoms just 
after the procedure.
But LASIK itself isn’t 
often the trigger for 
the dry eye. Nearly 
half to three-quarters 
of the people reporting 
dry eye had symptoms 
of it before the 
surgery.
Dry eye after LASIK 
typically gets better 
over time. But in rare 
cases, LASIK can lead 
to severe and chronic 
dry eyes.
Will You Have Dry Eye?
While long-term dry eye is rare, there’s no way to predict whether you’ll 
have dry eye after LASIK or how long the symptoms will last. But certain 
things may make it more likely for you to have dry eye after LASIK:
You had dry eye before 
LASIK.
You are female.
You are of Asian descent.
You wear contacts.
You have diabetes.
You were very 
nearsighted before 
LASIK or had vision 
corrected to a high 
degree.

Why Does LASIK Cause Dry 
ERyeseea?rchers don’t fully understand why this happens, but they have 
some ideas. The surgery can cause some corneal nerve damage. During 
the procedure, the surgeon reshapes your cornea by removing some of 
the tissue under it. In the process, the surgeon cuts some of the nerves 
in your cornea. That doesn’t affect your vision. But it may break down 
the communication between your cornea and the tear glands for a while. 
This usually returns to normal quickly.
Another possible cause is inflammation from the surgery. Also, the new 
shape of your cornea may change the way your eyelid interacts with the 
surface of your eye. That may affect blinking or tear production. And 
that can lead to dry eye.
How Long Will I Have Dry 
Eye?
For most people, dry eye symptoms are most noticeable in the months 
right after surgery. Most say it gets better in 6-12 months.
When to See a Doctor
Artificial tears and 
other standard 
treatments for dry 
eye can work well 
after LASIK. If your 
symptoms are mild, 
you can wait to talk 
about them with 
your doctor during 
your next 
appointment. But 
call your doctor 
immediately if you 
feel severe pain or if 
your vision or other 
symptoms get 
worse instead of 
better.
