How safe/unsafe is a laser surgery to remedy short-sight problem?
Question:
Answer:
I often wonder about the long term side effects of this kind of surgery myself after all I'd like to see a little than not at all. I am biding my time atm because 2 of my dads cousins had it done about 15 years ago & they still can see perfectly without glasses. I think I'll give it a few more years before I take the step as I can still see very well without my glasses. My daughter wants to have it done as soon as she's old enough. 15 years is proof enough for her to be confident about having it done.
safe my friends grandma and pa have done it
