The argument years ago that convinced me NOT to have this procedure done was that they'd have to remove fully half my cornea. I'm assuming there are ways to recover from that with a corneal transplant, but that's a big risk and a lot of resources consumed just for the sake of not wanting to wear glasses.
Flash forward fifteen years and I'm diagnosed with early onset cataracts. Turns out they can pick a lens implant that corrects out the distortion caused by the shape of the eyeball. That was the procedure that got me to where I didn't need glasses, even though that wasn't remotely close to the primary motivation.
