it is somewhat safe but it can blind you for life… it is the same as using the old method of cutting the eye but with a laser instead. i have contacts and i hated my glasses because u dont look as good in them as without them so that is y people dont like glasses. Hope that helped

I have asked myself the same questions and decided against it. The procedure is considered a success if the patient ends up with 20/30 or better but does not take into account halos and dry eyes a lot of people end up with. For me it is unacceptable to not be able to drive at night because of this or having to using eye drops the rest of my life. Also, as mid 40′s come around you might need glasses again (readers this time).

According to FDA reports, nearly 100% of LASIK patients have good results and no complications, but you need to be aware that there are things that can and do go wrong. Some problems include double or triple vision, light distortion so severe that patients can’t drive at night, or eyes so dry that they have to wear goggles when going outside.

Some patients experience infections, inflammation of the eye, redness, blurriness or eye irritation. Diffuse lamellar keratitis is a post operative LASIK risk that happens when a foreign substance, such as a hair or speck of dirt gets trapped behind the corneal flap. If this happens to you, you may experience pain, light sensitivity, blurred vision, along with the sensation that something is trapped in your eye.

One of the most common complications of LASIK eye surgery is a slipped flap. The flap that was created during the LASIK procedure may become detached from the rest of the cornea. Even without LASIK eye surgery, it’s expected that everyone’s eyes will change slightly with the passage of time – it’s just a natural part of life. After LASIK, your eyes will still follow their natural course of changing with time, so LASIK shouldn’t necessarily be considered a permanent solution

The information provided here is not intended to scare you away from LASIK eye surgery, since it has been a blessing to a great many people. For many who have chosen LASIK, it has meant that they are no longer dependent on corrective lenses in order to have good vision. It’s highly recommended that you talk with your doctor about LASIK and how any possible risks or side effects relate to your own personal circumstances.

oh really Mr Carson D no complication??????

FDA it self is greed driven they cover optical industry up.

man if i can find reports that FDA and optical industry are working together also over government department reports, i will sue them, i will not even care if i have to bring public unrest toward the optical industry.

government knows eyesight can be improved because they use it in the air force,

so i don’t know who else is playing the game, but once someone find more evidence, we will not give mercy to this fraud industry

Having any form of laser eye surgery to correct vision (including lasik) does not mean that you will not need glasses anymore.
My wife had surgery to correct her vision approximately which gave her 10 years without a need for glasses or contact lenses.But recently she has started to wear them for reading.
The only problem she had after surgery was with haloes/glare driving at night.
