Yup. It may be totally anecdotal but from the last 3 people I know who did it, 1 is happy with the result, another is struggling with bad dry eyes, and another one have had his vision worsened on one eye without possible correction.

I know the operation is statistically safe but risks are pretty real.



Medical risks are always very real for anything.

To pile on the anecdotes, I corrected a -6.5 left eye and a -5.5 right eye with LASIK, had dry eyes the first year, and never had any issues afterward. Life changer.

Sure, and that'w why my doctor don't want to operate me on lasik because of amblyopia.


And that makes perfect sense!
