can you sue if the surgery goes wrong ?

@RayWilliamJohansen No, you cannot sue if the surgery goes wrong.

It's a myth that LASIK patients who suffer complications complain openly. The fact is that many don't even tell their family. They may even tell people that their LASIK was great and keep their LASIK complications a secret. Why would they do this? The reasons are many. Here's just 1 reason .LASIK is permanent. You can't return it like a bad pair of glasses. Therefore, many choose to rationalize their bad decision (ex. sure my night vision sucks but at least I don't need glasses). LASICK!

I know it says that the LASIK surgeon in the news story got LASIK. Some LASIK surgeons got LASIK in the early years of LASIK. Now there's so much research showing that LASIK is terrible for your eyes (short-term, long-term, or both) that you would be hard-pressed to find a LASIKA surgeon who had LASIK in the last few years. The fact is that most eye doctors where glasses for a good reason.

1) Get a very good doctor, that's not over confident has a record of LOTS OF SUCCESSFUL SURGERIES.

2) A doctor who fucking knows what s/he's doing.

3) Pay the damn price, don't get some cheap $50 LASIK eye surgery behind a dumpster.

I has Lasik surgery twice, the first time about 10 years ago. I now wear glasses again and I'm only in my 30s. Lasik is not permanent.

[AproposOfNothing86]

Watching videos like this makes lasik not worth it for me, especially since I only considered it for convenience and I actually like my glasses. I get new frames every year or so and I'm happy with that

[canadacurtis]

Had my surgery done a year ago and was a complete success. Do your research, get a good doctor. Plain and simple..
