For the vast majority of patients, dry eye poses little concern, especially since symptoms typically abate within 3 to 6 months. The most common symptom associated with dry eye after LASIK is fluctuation in vision, especially within the first 6 weeks. Other symptoms can vary dramatically and include but are not limited to, irritation, pain, redness, foreign body sensation, slow healing, regression, and worsening astigmatism (1, 12).
