Yup. It may be totally anecdotal but from the last 3 people I know who did it, 1 is happy with the result, another is struggling with bad dry eyes, and another one have had his vision worsened on one eye without possible correction.
I know the operation is statistically safe but risks are pretty real.
To pile on the anecdotes, I corrected a -6.5 left eye and a -5.5 right eye with LASIK, had dry eyes the first year, and never had any issues afterward. Life changer.
No more LASIK for me. That's why I returned the AVP. What I'm doing is fine now, but the AVP triggered something in my eyes that I don't want to address just yet.
