Overcorrection and Kerectasia
Overcorrection is when too much tissue is removed during LASIK. Normally this can be fixed with an enhancement, but in certain cases, it can cause Kerectasia, a thinning of the cornea that makes the cornea unstable and irregular with significant vision problems.
What is LASIK overcorrection?
Overcorrection results when the refractive error is changed more than was intended. An initial, or temporary, overcorrection may occur and usually rights itself in the first month. After a treatment for farsightedness, an overcorrection would make you temporarily nearsighted.
Can LASIK complications be resolved?
If LASIK goes wrong, the problems can almost always be fixed with further treatment.
