My dad formally had massive eye issues and needed to have laser surgery multiple times to not go blind. He ended up having to replace his Corneas.

Anyway, he has stated many times that he would never tell anyone to go through the pain of laser eye surgery. This guy has been through a ton of painful stuff, but this was the topper for him.

On top of that I know someone who had Lasik and their vision got worse and their eyes wouldn't stop watering. I believe they went to some cheap place, but it ended up costing a ton of money to not be in pain any longer.

My father's been through similar (well, except the corneas), and he said it was the best thing to ever happen to him since his post-op vision is so much better. It wasn't lasik for what it was worth, mostly just to fix very badly detached retinas in both eyes and cataract surgery.
