My gut reaction to reading this is, "Wait... do I have those?" That being said, I do think its fair to say that we haven't studied the potential side effects of LASIK as much as you'd like to, but the fact remains that in doing so, you are accepting that there are risks. If the risks aren't worth it to you to remove your eye impairments, then don't get LASIK?

Erm... obviously. Hence why it's important to run studies like this to understand what the risks are.
