As we know, eye dry is one of the complications after the lasik surgery. You'd better have your dry eyes cured before the surgery is done or have your eyes check and get some specific suggestions from your doctor.

It is not suggested to have lasik surgery .If you have dry eyes even before Lasik, you are at risk for a permanent and severe problem following lasik surgery.So it is better to cure your dry eyes first.
