[quote=Anonymous]LASIK has an underreported rate of long-term side effects. The majority of people will still be very satisfied that they did it. However, the risk of lasting complications is somewhere between 10 and 30 percent, which should be intolerably high for something not medically necessary. From https://www.namd.org/journal-of-medicine/3067-the-patients-who-regret-laser-eye-surgery-%E2%80%98my-life%E2%80%99s-stood-still-since-then%E2%80%99.html: “Dr Morris Waxler, a retired FDA adviser who voted to approve Lasik in the 1990s, is now one of its biggest critics. He says he regrets his role in bringing the procedure to the public.” Risks are chronic pain, severe dry eye, halos and starbursts around objects in visual field, and poor night vision, among other complications. If you’re a social media person, check out the subreddit r/Lasik. Many people get ok-to-good vision results but have difficulty with other permanent effects. [/quote]
