I had a coworker who had lasik. About a year later, she got a paper cut on her cornea, (for real, she took a piece of paper off of a copy machine and it nicked her eyeball) across the lasik flap. It was extremely painful, messed up her vision for maybe a month, had to have eye surgery to fix it. It sounded horrific, but I asked her later and she has no regrets on getting lasik.

I have a cousin who is an opthamologist and he is totally against any laser surgery or even contacts, and the same with other opthamologists as well. He says to just wear glasses.
