like other eye surgeries even femtolasik surgery has its own side effects. these include: 1) dryness of eyes can be caused by effect on the nerves producing tears. 2) there may be increased sensitivity to light but this is a temporary side effect. 3) there may be decreased night vision which is again a temporary side effect but may persist for a long time in some people. 4) there may be over or under correction of vision which may even require a repeat surgery 5) it may cause too thin or irregular corneas. this may cause irregular astigmatism. 6) it may also cause high refractive error and unstable vision. 7) it may also cause growth of cells from outer layer of the cornea under the flap <positive_smiley> rare side effects include infection and retinal damage. you should discuss the pros and cons with an ophthalmologist and then go on for famtolasik surgery. it is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. for exact diagnosis you are requested to consult your doctor. i sincerely hope that helps. take care.
