How often does LASIK surgery not work out fine?
I’m thinking of getting LASIK surgery, because I have horrible vision, but I wanna know the risk. I would like to know what kind of percentage is there, that my surgery won’t work out fine? Please help!

i believe it is between .5-1% of 100% of patients. Don’t worry too much about it.

With high prescription as yours, usually LASIK doesn’t make your eye sight the best, but leaves for example 1.00 or 2.00. The other percentages of something go wrong during the surgery is like 3%. Good luck!!
