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.
