Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is not fully understood and so how it
may affect refractive surgery results also is not fully understood.
Many doctors have reported success with refractive surgery on
patients with MS, but you can expect to be warned that not all
issues are clear. You would probably be asked to sign an additional
informed consent specific to MS.
Some doctors are concerned that the increase in IOP during Lasik, Bladeless Lasik, and Epi-Lasik may be more problematic in MS patients. These
doctors prefer LASEK, PRK, RLE, P-IOL, or other procedures that do not require an increase
in intraocular pressure.
