Can laser eye surgery be good or bad?

LASIK: Surgery is what i assuming you are referring to, since there are close to a dozen different types of "laser eye surgery" at this time. The newest type of laser surgery for the eye involves using the laser as a component for cataract surgery. All surgical procedures to the eye have risks and benefits. The benefits outweigh the risks by a great margin for all surgical procedures we perform.

Be evaluated: Your ophthalmologist after doing pre operative testing should be able to tell you whether it is a good treatment for your eyes.
