[QUOTE="Umbran, post: 2966332, member: 177"] "Risk" is a combination of the probability of a failure and the cost of the failure should it occur. Something that is not particularly probable can still be "high risk" because of the costs involved. We here cannot weigh the risk for another. We canb simply point out the factors involved so that others can make an informed choice. One thing to note - what we now call "lasik" has not been around for a terribly long time (since abolut 1991, iirc). And not all that many folks had the related procedures that predated lasik. So, what we don't have is a very good notion of the long-term effects. If you're only 20 now, you're going to have to use those eyes 40 and 50 years from now. Will you be more likely to need bifocals in 30 years? Or get cataracts? Or have some other risk of a side effect? Nobody can say, because the data simply doesn't exist yet. [/QUOTE]
