Although most refractive surgery related complications are resolved within the normal six-month healing period, sometimes problems do not resolve on their own or with treatment.  The Council for Refractive Surgery Quality Assurance formed a blue ribbon committee to review many different sources of information regarding outcomes from conventional and wavefront Lasik, All-Laser Lasik, LASEK, PRK, CK, and all forms of FDA approved refractive surgery.  This Quality Standard Advisory Committee determines the current US national norms for outcomes from all types of refractive surgery and states that approximately 3% of refractive surgery patients have some sort of unresolved problem at the end of the normal six-month healing period, with 0.5% having a serious problem that requires aggressive intervention.  ComplicatedEyes exists to serve this minority, not the majority who had a good result, or those who are considering refractive surgery but have not yet made their decision.  ComplicatedEyes is for people who have already had refractive surgery and are having problems.
