This is a really interesting piece about the hazards of eye laser surgery. Whilst overall laser eye surgery is very successful there are a number of side effects and risks associated with it and these problems are often underplayed - dry eye, night vision etc. A few statistics here make interesting reading and the experiences of two employees of a leading eye surgery clinic are very revealing. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2003941235_lasik11.html

Eyeing the risks of LASIK eye surgery

This is a really interesting article on the hazards of eye laser surgery. Two people who worked at a high profile laser clinic themselves suffered major side effects and are quoted in it. There are some interesting statistics included and some warning issued by the US food and drugs administration. Very enlightening reading for anyone considering eye laser surgery. http://seattletimes.nwsource.com/html/health/2003941235_lasik11.html
