My doctor didn’t numb my left eye enough, so I felt the cut. It hurt like hell! Aside from that I was happy with the results!

if the procedure is not done correctly there is risk of damaging the flap that lays over the eye (protects it), blindness, partial blindness and severe infection and dryness of the eye
some side effects of the procedure (but go away usually within a day or two) are: dryness, sensitivity to light, blurriness, dizziness……

Halos are the biggest downside to to having lasik surgery. When looking at lights in dim light, there can be starbursts around it or a light surrounding it, which can disrupt driving at night. I have a telescope and won’t get the procedure done for that reason. I don’t want my night vision messed with at all.

So far not too much downs, but probably 10 – 15 years down the road something will be noticed about it. I had the RK back in the day and when I went to get my eyes checked the doc had a hard time not understanding why I could not see. He kept stressing that I should be able to see that. When he got his light out and looked in my eye he shared with that the Scarring from the RK had occurred.
So there’s possibility that scarring could happen even with laser.

One of my best friends, did that about 15 years ago, and today she is starting to complain that she needs glasses, so I guess it’s just to put of the time for needing glasses. Or, you have to do the surgery again (which costs quite a deal of money)

Blindness if they screw up the procedure.

my dad got it, you just are really sensitive to light for about a day after, but he’s perfectly fine now and can see great without glasses.

Years ago they did a report on one patient who’s suffered permanent damage to his eyes. He see’s ‘halos’ around every light source especially at night.
That alone would make me think 2x about getting it done. However, this was like 10yrs ago so the technology should have advanced dramatically since then.
When the surgery first became popular, it was really easy to tell who had it since their eyes became enlarged and really open more than normal.
