You may have seen my other post, but what you may NOT have seen is that I pre-empted my previous comment with:

I literally had 30+ people asking me for more information, so it was clearly useful.. and no I wasn't shilling for anyone, though I am happy to introduce folks to my friend if they want my specific doctor.. I am interested in helping more people get LASEK however, as it is genuinely a major upgrade for your life.

There is no preview with any surgery, all you can really do is look at the probabilities of tens of thousands of procedures and speak with a surgeon.

And sure, you can have any subjective definition of success you want -- for example, if the surgery didn't allow you see through walls with x-ray vision, you could call it a failure.

I understand what you are saying though, your fear is that you'd get LASK, and then you'd still need to wear glasses or contacts.

You are talking about risks and things being much* higher -- I'd appreciate if you cite some sort of research or other statistics on LASEK.

All of that said, my quality of life is easily 10x what it was before, so for me, it was a risk well worth taking. If I would have been worse off after my surgery, I wouldn't have had to pay -- so aside from the small risk of having a small routine medical procedure (which also could be safely redone to try again if needed) there was no financial risk and minimal time..
