Lasik Complications

Herpes Simplex Keratitis

Ocular herpes (HSV) is one of the leading causes of blindness from corneal disease worldwide. LASIK may lead to herpes simplex virus activation, resulting in sight-threatening herpes simplex keratitis lesions.

Problems from Lasik? File a MedWatch report with the FDA online. Alternatively, you may call FDA at 1-800-FDA-1088 to report by telephone, download the paper form and either fax it to 1-800-FDA-0178 or mail it to the address shown at the bottom of page 3, or download the MedWatcher Mobile App for reporting LASIK problems to the FDA using a smart phone or tablet.
