I looked into LASIK a few years ago and came across a lot of this.
It seems like most clinics will hide behind statistics like "over 99% of patients have no serious side effects".
While not disclosing that "minor" side effects are much more common, and can include permanent dry-eyes or light sensitivity making it impossible to drive at night.
I've had bad eyes since I was little. I recently looked into laser surgery, and while there are MANY happy customers, my issue is that it doesn't address the root problem. It basically forms a corrective lens on your eye, but the actual lens continues to age. With glasses and contacts you get new prescriptions to deal with this. With lasik you're looking at additional surgery or wearing corrective lenses again, typically about 10 years later.
I'm scheduled for lens-replacement (ie, cataract) surgery next month. The procedure is more expensive and more invasive, so it is higher risk. But people have been doing cataract surgery since the 1800s, so it's pretty dialed in. And if it all goes like it should I should be set for life.
