I've known lots of people who've done refractive laser vision surgery and had very good luck with it, including many of the opthalmologists practicing in our area.

My hesitation is that my ability to do procedures in my work relies so heavily on my eyes. They can't guarantee perfect results with Lasik. Nor do they have any long-term results since the technology is still relatively new. When I need visual assistance for small vascular work, I wear glasses with scopes on them. I'd hate to take even a small risk with my eyes if I can't be sure the outcome will be flawless. From what I've read, the technology on the lasers changes so quickly that the procedure results vary and improve practically every six months. That gives me pause, too.

I'd be a lot less hesitant to have modern cataract surgery than Lasik. Cataract surgery has a successful outcome rate of 95%.

I know that occasionally people who get Lasik can have trouble if they're high altitude mountain climbers because of the corneal changes after surgery. Back when radial keratotomy was in fashion (Lasik has replaced that now), it caused real problems in high altitudes. Some climbers still report troubles after Lasik, too. Just something to be aware of if you're into mountain climbing.
