LASIK & Safety
Laser vision correction is one of the most popular elective procedures performed, however with any surgical procedure, there can be complications. But, in the hands of an experienced LASIK surgeon, the complication rate can be extremely low. In fact, some studies suggest LASIK surgery carries less risk of infection than wearing contact lenses.

Results of clinical studies indicate the chances of having a vision-reducing LASIK complication from a laser vision correction procedure is less than 1%. (SOURCE: http://www.allaboutvision.com/visionsurgery/lasik_complication_1.htm) It is also important to note that there have been no reported cases of blindness resulting from laser vision correction treatment in the United States.
