laser eye surgery risks complications
Opinions on Laser Eye Surgery?

I was thinking about getting laser eye surgery to correct my vision. I do want to get it… but then I don’t. I understand the chances of going completely blind are quite small, but I think it’s a hell of a risk to take. I know so many people have gotten it done, but I would appreciate opinions of those who have, or even those who know about the procedure. And most importantly, has any doctor determined what will happen in the future? If the correction will remain or if the person can have complications? Please serious thoughts and opinions only.

In my opinion I would only get the surgery if it was absolutely needed, say for a job that required good vision and you couldn’t wear glasses safely.
Even though going blind is a small risk there’s a lot of other problems like decreased night vision, problems with glare, etc.
Plus it hasn’t been around long enough to gauge the long term effects.
Also, skills vary so if I was going to do it I would find a doctor who only does laser surgery and get a lot of recommendations.
If they’re any good they will provide references.
Good Luck.
