This is a very clear-cut case of selection bias. People who have a bad experience are much more likely to talk about it.

Lasik has a less than 70% long term success rate and a fairly high severe failure rate. Apologies but I cannot recall the stat in that one but it was multiple percents. And by severe, I mean near blindness.

Maybe that’s acceptable to you, but not to me.

can you cite the studies? Considering LASIK and most things I google for are just blogspam, I prefer peer reviewed papers
