Not really, no. People like to say that there have been cases of going blind but I did some research and at least back when I had mine done, zero cases of major fuckups in the US. You sometimes can get floaters after the surgery but I've also read that they eventually clear up or theyre not bad enough to notice after awhile. Its rare tho.
The laser eye surgery was the best $3200 I ever spent. My contacts were -8.5 to -9.0 depending on the MFG. I didn't have the "newest" version, where they laser the flap first. My eyes were so bad they used the chemical version to burn the front of the eye off, then did the laser. I can get my right eye touched up once, my left eye is already at the minimum FDA thickness. Went from 20/M to 20/40 in about two weeks. Worked down to 20/30, then 20/20 with the ability to see some 20/15, but the lighting conditions need to be just right. Overall took about 4 weeks to get to the 20/20 - 20/25 level. That was October of 2015 and they haven't changed, which impresses my optimistrist due to my age. They figure within a few years (about five) you'd be needing corrective lenses, maybe just cheaters for reading. I'm the exception, so far.
My friend got the newer version, with the laser for the flap. Her glasses were -4.0, now she's 20/10. She can read street signs before I even know the signs are even there.

My eyes are weirdly sensitive to light though, basically during the day, outside, I'm wearing sunglasses. I asked the doctor about it, and she said just wear good polarized sunglasses, and send it, aside from dryness/strain from allergies, I was good. One of the few things on my body that works like it should...for now
Biggest turnoff from lasik plus was reading all the reviews of people that had trouble AFTER a year and then being told they can’t get lasik done again to correct but could get PDK. Also wasn’t a fan of wanting money for an actual consult vs over the phone.
Hmm, I hadnt ready any reviews like that...at least not local reviews. But everywhere is different.
Ah yes, regional for sure could affect pricing.
I did see this wicked Jeep today in the ghetto...
That thing looks like a hot wheels car

I'd rather drive that, than that abortion Jeep. I'd probably prefer driving that than the purple abortion I'm driving today
