I do not recall the details right now. A person I am in frequent contact with told me about it. There are occasional complications with the procedure. When you agree to have it done, you sign away any right to sue them for problems. In order to get past that, you would have to be able to prove gross negligence, which is very difficult to do. When a coworker went through it several years ago she expressed concern that she would have a starburst problem. Maybe that is still the most common problem. Like anything else, caveat emptor. I would suggest that performing due diligence on the surgeon is most important. This is your sight, a thing you can do without, but have expressed interest in improving, not degrading.
