Are the long-term effects of laser eye surgery known?
SoulDragon asked:
I heard a few years ago that having laser eye surgery may eventually cause blindness later in life. Is this true?

No one knows the long term effect of these touted “wonder surgeries” done with lasers. If doctors were honest with you, they would tell you the same thing. The great benefits reaped from these procedures may quit working 5-10 years down the road with disasterous consequenses.

The only effect I know is that you should not have it below the age of 26 because if you are short sighted your sight evolves and changes for some years after maturity if the effect did not arrive with old age. Myopia changes and shifts and before that age your prescription could again change and your permanent surgery might not be effective.
