After LASIK operation is dryness of the eye a longterm side effect ?

The dryness experienced is overcome using some type of lubricant/allergen (eg.; Refresh + ) immediately after the operation.

Is this required to be used over a long period ? My daughter has been advised to use it every one hour. Please give precise answer.

    Cannot give precise answer since everyone is different. Some people have no problems in a few weeks, some forever and have to use stuff like Restaysis the rest of their lives. Some see clearly at night some only see halos.

    It is a shame that many Lasik docs care more about money then screening the patients correctly and that more people aren't correctly warned of the problems before
