LASIK surgery is generally considered a safe procedure with a high success rate, and most patients experience long-term benefits. While there are potential risks and complications, serious long-term issues are rare, and most patients maintain clear vision for many years.

The cost with imported lenses is double though. Is the difference in quality worth the extra money or are Indian lenses just as good?
