Every surgery has its own short and long term drawbacks. However LASIK is a safe procedure with satisfactory outcomes when done in good hands. Whether or not lasik is recommended depends on a lot of patient factors like refraction, age, corneal thickness, topography etc. Therefore a thorough evaluation is done before taking the decision of going with the surgery.
