But that doesn't mean 5% of the people walk out of the procedure completely blinded.
In many cases, failed surgery just means having to go again.
That success rate tracks with most common types of surgery, there are always edge cases.
The exception is back surgery, and the odds get worse and worse if revisions are necessary.
And the ones that have a bad time, have a really bad time, to the point of suicide in cases. Not sure if I would risk it if I didn't have 20/15 vision tbh
You will risk it, eventually. Cataracts appear and get worse to the point of you becoming blind.
I suppose in that case, possibly. I more mean for people that are doing it for cosmetic reasons (not to wear contacts)
Oh, hard agree on that!
You're thinking about Lasik, this is different from cataract surgery.
