Reading between the lines, it begs the question, how many people end up with non vision-threatening, but still dissapointing and fucking annoying aberrations in their vision?

I've heard varying statistics that the most common complication, dry eyes, which may be permanent, occurs in something like 18-35% of all cases iirc.

Minor complications aren't rare.
That's what bothers me - the odds of getting it done with NO problems aren't so great. I mean, odds are I won't have massive problems, but from what I can tell, I am fairly likely to have issues that could be as, or more, annoying than glasses are.

I wonder how long even a successful patient has before they need glasses again. I don't think laser surgery can do what I want it to (no glasses for at least 20 years).

I'm still going to my free consultation though. If I'm not eligible then I won't need to make the difficult decision.
