Risks Complications are relatively rare and can in most cases be dealt with during follow-up treatments. Very rarely, the quality of vision may deteriorate. Complications may include: - Temporary increase of eye pressure. This, however, is only a temporary phenomenon which can usually be adjusted with drugs. - Infections/inflammations. Early detection allows these to be treated easily. - Lens replacement (if the power is incorrect) or lens reinsertion (if the lenses are not in a sufficiently central position).
