LASIK was the worst decision of my life. Since I had LASIK I have spent much of my spare time researching LASIK complications. The medical literature and FDA clinical trials report that chronic dry eyes and night vision impairment occur frequently after LASIK. Moreover, the LASIK flap only heals to 2% of the cornea's original tensile strength, and the biomechanical strength of the cornea is permanently reduced by about 50% after LASIK. LASIK patients face problems with glaucoma screening and future cataract surgery. You can read more about LASIK risks and long-term complications on my website at www.lasikcomplications.com

Rahul - there's lots of data on the web about success rates. The article mentions it as well. Not sure what you mean by "does it recur"?

I can't recommend anyone get or not get Lasik. You should do your research before making that decision.
