			{{jake says\|No! Eye surgery to correct myopia is a truly terrible idea (in most cases).

			The FDA (U.S Food & Drug Administration) reports serious side effect incidents in over 45% of post-surgery patients. These are often serious, and almost always entirely uncorrectable. Once you had laser surgery, you are stuck with the results.

			What isn’t discussed much elsewhere, is the stimulus that is now created in your eye that will continue to cause the eye to elongate. This can lead to very serious risk of retinal detachment.

	==~~Is laser eye surgery safe~~?==		==Does LASIK fix myopia?==
	'~~''Definitely not'''~~. ~~Zap zap~~		For a lot of people it does. It doesn't affect the underlying reason for myopia, which is [[axial elongation]] of they eyeball. LASIK cuts into your cornea, changing its refractive state.

			An analogy would be permanently etching glasses into your eyes. Because glasses are the cause of your myopia, in the same vein a lot of LASIK 'patients' will have their myopia corrected, only for it to regress later in life. It's not a permanent solution for a lot of people. When the myopia comes back for these people, surgeons are all too keen to offer 'touch up surgeries', which increases your chances for [[retinal detachment]] and other eye conditions by a new order of magnitude each time a 'touch up' is performed (as if the initial risk wasn't bad enough).

			==Safety==
			===Is laser eye surgery safe?===
			'''No'''. Some people have a really good experience, othes people are left with debilitating eye conditions that are left with them for the rest of the life. Many of them have to take [[numbing eye drops]] to numb the pain.

			It's a pretty big risk if you value your eyesight.
