    Every procedure has that risk, even a routine vaccination or stitches, strange reason to pay for glasses and contacts forever.

    There are people who legitimately can’t get the surgery, but that’s obviously not who’s being discussed here.

    What’s the ratio on people being worse of for vision after? Cant make a claim like that and not provide some data.

    Glasses and contacts also don’t fix the issue and can lead to worse vision too, so arguably that’s non-factor in a discussion like this anyways.

    LASIK is the only chance to have a permanent fix. It’s a very important factor to consider, above and beyond the complications, that are also applicable to the glasses and contacts. I’ve not heard of many people’s vision getting better by their continual use.
