All eye surgeries carry with them the possibility of infection. The worst case scenario of infection is that it could damage the cornea or retina and result in loss of sight. It is important to put this possibility into perspective when considering Laser vision correction. However, the risk of a catastrophic complication from LVC is probably less than the risk of loss of sight through the use of extended wear contact lenses. In addition, there are other corneal irregularities which can rarely occur. The worst case scenario could be corneal scarring which could require corneal replacement.
