Depends: The risks and benefit profile of any surgery is dependent on the patient. See a refractive specialist for a consultation and they will likely go over the pros and cons as they pertain to you in detail. For most people, pros of laser vision correction far outweigh the cons.

Pros and Cons: The lasik surgery carries no more risk than many other common or routine surgeries. Lasik has helped millions of people with their sight. Surgery is not painful and you will see better than contact lenses.
