LASIK vs LASEK : Lasek is safer than lasik for people with high prescriptions, thin corneas, dry eyes, irregular astigmatism, night glare, or those who play contact sports or martial arts.

If the person is a good candidates then its safe and effective. There are some risk and complications like any other surgeries but lasik is over all safer procedure.
