Patients that undergo laser refractive surgery may have dry eye after surgery. Additionally, the refractive correction can shift over time. You should discuss this and the potential risks and complications of surgery with your ophthalmic surgeon.
Some common side effects are dryness which is usually temperary. Sometimes glare and halos with night driving which also is usually temperary. You need to be evaluated by a reputable eye surgeon to see if you are a good candidate
Dry eyes as well as starbursts and halos around lights at night. SO
Yes, dry eyes glare at night. Just to name a few.

Usually it is safe but yes you can get side effects like dry eyes, Retinal detachments, floaters or eye surface defects due to the laser surgery.
