LASIK eye surgery primarily focuses on reshaping the cornea to correct vision, and it generally does not involve cutting or manipulating facial nerves. However, some patients may experience temporary sensations or changes in the area around the eyes due to the surgery or the healing process. Serious complications affecting facial nerves are extremely rare. Overall, LASIK is considered a safe procedure with minimal impact on surrounding tissues.
