While LASIK complications are rare, when they do occur, they are often related to the oscillating blade associated with traditional microkeratornes. Metal blades can cause uneven flap edges, which can result in abnormal corneal surfaces and vision problems including irregular astigmatism. They can also create incomplete or incorrectly formed “buttonhole” flaps that can result in vision-threatening scars. When lasers are used for the LASIK procedure, there is less risk of complications.
