Re: Anyone had (or considered) laser eye surgery?
Yeah I still want to find out what % of people end up with worse eyesight. That will be the deciding factor for me, I think.
The 'complication rate' of the procedure I'm considering is 1 in 2750, but that's mostly minor stuff - misalignment, needing retreatment, etc. How much of it is 'minor' I also need to find out.
To date there's never been a case of permanent blindness reported (out of more than 20 million treatments) and right now I think I'm more put off by the ickyness of it all than the high-impact-low-probability risk of being the first to lose my sight. Still, you're right to feel concerned about it.
