I have a number of patients who are most pleased (I'm an Internist) with their results, though a few of them have some flare at night. Also, one of my ophthalmologist friends has some concern about possible long term corneal deterioration, perhaps eventually necessitating transplant. I'm sure there's no data on this yet, but one never knows what 20-30 years may bring. That said, the results so far are generally excellent, and as mentioned earlier, practice makes perfect, so an experienced team is best. Now, regarding cataract surgery - a different story. The technology is mature, results usually excellent. But here, they're removing/replacing a cloudy lens, not peeling back the outer layer of the cornea.
