>>I got LASIK six years ago. No regrets, whatsoever.<<

Check back with us in 20 years. Or, use your voice interface to do so, anyway.

The Wiki article on LASIK says the risk of significant loss of vision with LASIK is 1 in 10,000. Risk of significant loss of vision with contact lenses is 5 times as high. People have been getting the surgery for over 20 years now, and I'm not aware of any studies reporting the bad longterm outcomes you're warning people about.

Is there some particular reason that you seem so determined to frighten people away from getting a medical procedure done that might make them happier?

I can tell you a friend of mine, who is 100yrs and 6mnths, had Lasik 16 years ago.

Wore glasses her entire life and hasn’t worn them since.
