LASIK Complications Treatment

LASIK Complications Treatment in Maryland

Treatments for LASIK Complications

LASIK surgery is often marketed as a quick fix for vision correction, but for many patients, the results are not what they expected. LASIK complications are more common than people think—and for some, they can be life-altering. From extreme glare, halos, and starbursts to chronic dry eye and debilitating night vision issues, the side effects of LASIK can significantly impact quality of life.

At Azman Eye Care Specialists, we understand the challenges that come with post-LASIK complications. Our team, led by Dr. Benjamin Azman and founding doctor Dr. Irwin Azman, a pioneer in post-LASIK complication care, has over 30 years of experience in LASIK, refractive surgery co-management, and most importantly, helping patients recover and regain functional, comfortable vision.

LASIK COMPLICATIONS WE TREAT

Many patients come to us experiencing a wide range of visual disturbances after LASIK, including glare and halos at night, starbursts, and heightened light sensitivity. Others report ghosting, double vision, or blurry and smudged vision—even though they were told they achieved “20/20” results. Severe dry eye and higher-order aberrations (HOAs), which distort the quality and clarity of vision, are also common. Unfortunately, too many patients are told they just have to live with these symptoms or are advised to undergo risky LASIK touch-ups, which often exacerbate the problem rather than resolve it.

LASIK Complications We Can Help

Glare and halos at night
Starbursts and light sensitivity
Ghosting and double vision
Blurry or smudged vision despite “20/20” results
Severe dry eye
Higher-order aberrations (HOAs) that distort the quality of vision

POST-LASIK REHABILITATION

Our team specializes in diagnosing and treating visual distortions like glare, halos, ghosting, and HOAs after LASIK. We customize non-surgical solutions to restore clarity and comfort.

WAVEFRONT TESTING

We utilize high-resolution wavefront and topographic mapping to identify higher-order aberrations (HOAs) that standard exams may miss—revealing the root cause of visual distortions.

Post Lasik
Dry Eye

Chronic dry eye is a common after LASIK. We offer advanced testing and customized therapies - radiofrequency (RF), IPL, and prescription solutions, to restore tear film balance and comfort.

CUSTOM SCLERAL LENSES

We design specialty lenses—like scleral, PROSE, and impression-based lenses with wavefront-guided optics, to correct and minimize HOAs and complex visual distortions from LASIK complications.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. This is my third time seeing Dr. Azman for my severe dry eye, or ocular rosacea. I found this practice doing a Google search for dry eye specialists. I was experiencing such terrible symptoms—I could barely produce any moisture in my eyes; they were scratchy and bloodshot all the time. Restasis didn’t help. Dr. Azman recommended the IPL treatment and even treats the rosacea on my face because it all contributes to dry eye. Dr. Azman has a wonderful bedside manner—he listens carefully, assessed my situation, and explained the recommended treatment. Dr. Azman explains everything as he does it (applying eyedrops, putting in eye protection for the IPL, etc), and checks to make sure you’re feeling comfortable. The office staff is also great, and the office is beautiful with calm music planning. I appreciate all the thoughtful touches, but especially Dr. Azman’s expertise.
The treatment has been very beneficial so far—I still have one more treatment to go. If you suffer from dry eye, look no further than this practice. You will be well cared for.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I visited Dr. Azman for eye glasses prescription and dry eyes treatment. My eyes felt dry, rough, and sore. Dr. Azman was friendly and caring. His experience treating dry eyes was something that I needed.  Thanks for the friendly and efficient technical staff for eyes examination. Also, front desk helping complete required forms.  This was my first visit to Dr. Azman’s clinic. The initial treatment required daily four prescription eye drops and Lid Scrubs as needed.

On my follow-up visit, I was glad to report the success of the initial treatment. Dr. Azman prescribed new eye drops with fewer side effects for long term application.
I also appreciated the thoughtful and efficient technicians for doing the eye examination and eye pressure test.

I wish Dr. Azman continued success helping patients.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Innovative tech, for dry eye patients you need all of the tools available to really keep your eyes healthy and happy. The two doctors on staff are very caring and really good about addressing the root causes of dry eye and scientifically addressing the problems (no ""you are too young gor dry eye"" or ""you look fine"").

Very happy to have access to the opthamologists here they are the best.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I discovered this practice through a Google search, and I am very glad that I selected this practice after being informed that I must obtain hard contacts for my keratoconus. All of the staff that I met at this practice were also very kind, and very professional which made me feel very comfortable and I am very grateful. I also ask a lot of questions, being that I’m new to all of this, and they assured me it was OK to ask as many questions as I wanted to. Dr. Azman made sure to listen to all my concerns and also to make sure I had the best vision with my lenses.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr Benjamin is great! After a thorough exam, he took the time to listen to me and created a solution that fit me and my life and activities - the ways I used my eyes.
And not only did it work well, it was so good for me that years later when I needed cataract surgery, I explained it to my surgeon and he set my lenses up the way Dr Benjamin set up my contacts and glasses.
Dr Benjamin literally set my vision up for life!
I can't say thanks enough.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. From the moment you walk into the office, you feel taken care of. Dr. Azman is not only incredibly knowledgeable but also patient and thorough. He takes the time to explain everything clearly and makes sure you understand your eye health. I’ve never felt rushed, and I always leave feeling confident about my vision care.

On top of that, he genuinely cares about his patients. You can tell this isn’t just a job for him he has a real passion for what he does. If you’re looking for an eye doctor who is professional, caring, and simply the best at what he does, look no further. Additionally the office looks amazing.

Hands down, Dr. Azman is the greatest of all time when it comes to eye care!

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was referred by my AME for a color blind test for the new FAA regulations for a new student pilot. With a clear and informative talk with one of the doctors, I was able to obtain all the information about the specific FAA tests that are required that they also offer in their practice. Fortunately I was able to use that information to find a place closer to me that offers this service (which is not easy to find by the way). I am so thankful for the informative talk and professionalism they showed me. Thank you so much!!

What Causes LASIK Complications?

LASIK complications often result from how the cornea is permanently reshaped during surgery. If too much tissue is removed or healing is uneven, it can lead to corneal irregularities and higher-order aberrations (HOAs), which distort visual quality and cause symptoms like glare, halos, starbursts, ghosting, and double vision.

Another contributing factor is that the LASIK procedure involves creating a flap, which severs corneal nerves. This disrupts the eye’s natural feedback loop for tear production and is a major cause of chronic dry eye after LASIK.

In some cases, complications occur because the patient was never an ideal LASIK candidate. Underlying conditions such as large pupils, dry eye, or undiagnosed keratoconus were either missed or overlooked. These conditions should be properly treated first — and in many cases, patients with these risk factors should never have had LASIK performed at all.

Avoid LASIK Touch-Ups – Explore Safer, Proven Alternatives

Many of our patients have been advised to undergo additional LASIK procedures to “fix” their symptoms. Unfortunately, these repeat surgeries often result in worsened corneal structure and exacerbated visual distortions. Before you consider another surgery, schedule a consultation to explore safer, non-surgical options.

We Can Help.
You Don’t Have to Suffer.

Our practice specializes in identifying and treating the root causes of these complications. We utilize advanced diagnostic equipment to detect corneal irregularities, residual refractive errors, and higher-order aberrations. Once identified, we design highly customized non-surgical treatment solutions tailored to each patient’s unique visual system. Solutions may include:

Custom Wavefront-Guided Contact Lenses to reduce HOAs
Scleral Lenses to vault over damaged corneal tissue and restore functional vision
Advanced Dry Eye Therapy for relief from LASIK-induced dryness
Impression-Based Lenses for severe corneal irregularities

Over 90% of our post-LASIK patients experience significant improvement in both visual clarity and comfort.

Why choose Azman Eye Care Specialists for your LASIK complications?

When it comes to treating LASIK complications, experience matters — and compassion makes the difference.

At Azman Eye Care Specialists, we’ve been involved in LASIK and refractive surgery care for over 30 years. From pre-operative evaluations to complex post-LASIK complication management, our team brings unmatched expertise, advanced diagnostic technology, and a deep commitment to helping patients who feel they’ve run out of options.

Unlike high-volume clinics, our boutique, concierge-style practice is built around personalized, one-on-one care. We take the time to understand your symptoms, listen to your concerns, and carefully design a treatment plan tailored to your visual needs and lifestyle. This includes innovative solutions such as wavefront-guided scleral lenses, PROSE devices, and impression-based optics designed to reduce glare, halos, double vision, and other visual disturbances caused by higher-order aberrations (HOAs).

Too many patients are told there’s nothing more that can be done. We specialize in proving that’s not true. Our passion is helping people reclaim their visual clarity and quality of life — often when other doctors have given up.
