Why Lasik will make dry eyes worse?
In the process of thinning the cornea in Lasik, the nerves that make tears and for sensation are also removed.
That is why Lasik is not advised for patients with dry eyes. If you already have dry eyes from contacts, do not choose Lasik. The dry eyes will become permanent.
What options do you have if you already have dry eyes? Choose an option that would not make your dry eyes worse. I prefer the Swiss Evo Implantable Contact lens as there is no lasering or altering of the natural integrity of the cornea. That is why Evo Implantable Contact lens does not cause dry eyes. Once you don’t need your contacts lenses after having had the Evo Implantable Contact lens, your dry eyes will gradually get better.
The other option is the Good night Lens which means wearing the contact lenses at night and removing them in the morning so you would not have glasses or contacts in the daytime. Like Braces for your Eyes.
