Dr. Gabriela Mabel Espinoza MD's Expert Contributions
My eyes feel very dry after LASIK. Why could this be?
LASIK causes decreased sensitivity of the cornea due to the cut that is created to perform the treatment. This can cause dryness because it changes the ability for the body to respond to the dry eye and create more natural tears or blink to redistribute the tears. This can improve as the eyes heal, but should be taken seriously and treated with frequent preservative free artificial tears to help prevent an abrasion or infection. You should return to your eye doctor to assess if you need further treatment with prescription eye drops. READ MORE
