Last I heard (and this was several years ago) Lasik works really well for people, when it works, but (again, this was several years ago) about 10% of the time it makes things worse.

There is an element of risk in any surgery, including eye surgery. Eye surgery is not likely to kill the patient but it might leave him blind and visually impaired.
