Question

Is LASIK eye surgery actually safe in the long run? I've heard mixed things about complications years later and I'm worried what's the newest tech they're using now to make it safer?

Yes, LASIK is widely regarded as a safe procedure when performed by qualified professionals on suitable candidates. It has a complication rate of less than 1%.
